Rangers may need to make contact with Fulham before January if they wish to sign Josh Onomah
Rangers may need to “touch base” with Fulham before January if they wish to sign midfielder Josh Onomah during the transfer window, according to journalist Dean Jones.
The 25-year-old has been a bit-part player for Marco Silva at Craven Cottage so far this season, making just two appearances for the club in the Premier League.
Michael Beale is reportedly interested in securing the services of the dynamic midfielder, whose contract runs out next summer.
According to former Eurosport journalist, Jones, the Gers may need to touch base with the Cottagers “early on” if they wish to lure the Englishman north of the border.
He told GiveMeSport: “I think what would need to happen here is that, if Rangers are genuinely interested then they’ll need to touch base early on, possibly even before January, to put the idea in Fulham’s head to try to understand what it’s going to take to sign him and also give Fulham time to consider how they replace him in the team.”
Promising player
Onomah would likely welcome a move away from Craven Cottage, where he has struggled to impact proceedings this season.
The London-born midfielder made 37 appearances for the club in the 2019/20 season, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
A move to Rangers would re-ignite his stalling career, which has seen the player fail to impress at during spells at Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday, and the transfer would likely be pretty cheap for the Gers.
The Rangers squad is in dire need of refreshing – especially in the middle of the park – and the Fulham midfielder is renowned for his hard running and energetic style of play.
With the midfielder out of contract in the summer, now is the perfect opportunity for both parties to come to an agreement.
If Rangers are willing to give Beale free reign over his transfer policy, this transfer could be the first of many to come.
