Rangers transfer news as triple move eyed with money to be spent at Ibrox
Rangers squad rebuild is set to yield a “potent front three” capable of firing high numbers, as reported by the Scottish Daily Mail [13 May, Page 127].
Gers boss Michael Beale is said to have already wrapped up two new signings, with many more to follow, but the word of new firepower will excite the fans.
With Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent set to depart the club in the coming weeks, there will be a significant chunk of the wage bill available to be reallocated to new additions.
The Mail described the transfer situation latest including the insight on aspirations for a fresh three-pronged attack for Beale’s side.
“Agreement was reached this week with Chelsea’s Dujon Sterling,” it said.
“Rangers have also secured Norwich midfield free agent Kieran Dowell on a three-year deal and plan to spend money on a potent front three capable of delivering higher numbers than Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos, or Rabbi Matondo.”
Need to succeed
The trio named above has returned a meagre collective tally of 13 league goals for Beale’s side in a damning indictment of the need for real improvement.
With the much-publicised situation around Kent and Morelos, only Matondo played in Saturday’s victory over Celtic but he is far from guaranteed his place for next season, nor is Fashion Sakala who also played in the 3-0 Old Firm. conquest.
His goal was his ninth of the campaign but the Zambian has proved too often that he cannot be relied upon to deliver when it really matters.
Quite simply, Rangers have an urgent requirement for better players who can perform more often than not, and in a transfer window that will see many new faces arrive, the need to succeed is paramount.
Beale will only have one chance to get this right in terms of the significant squad turnover that is already underway, behind the scenes.
