BBC pundit issues transfer verdict on Rangers midfielder John Lundstram amid English clubs links
Stephen Craigan believes that Philippe Clement will be desperate to retain the services of John Lundstram at Rangers in the summer.
The BBC pundit thinks that clubs in England will be waiting to bring the midfielder south of the border, given his impressive stint at Sheffield United.
The 29-year-old has been a regular this season for Clement and has featured in 18 league games.
Speaking on commentary during the Dumbarton game on Viaplay Sports 1 (20 January, 19:19), Craigan said: “I think he’s a player the manager will want to keep. There will be clubs in England that want him. He’ll be desperate to keep him beyond the summer.”
Makes sense
Lundstram’s consistent presence in the starting lineup, featuring in 37 games last season and maintaining a regular role this term, highlights his reliability and importance to the team’s structure.
His versatility in midfield and ability to contribute defensively and offensively make him a valuable asset for Clement’s tactical plans.
Lundstram’s work rate, experience and familiarity with the team dynamics make him a key figure in the squad.
In a financially constrained environment, retaining a player with proven performance and established chemistry within the team becomes paramount.
The 29-year-old’s integral role in the previous campaign and his continued influence this season make him an asset that Clement would be reluctant to lose, even in the face of financial challenges, as he plays a crucial part in the team’s success and stability.
His fitness also needs to be commended as he’s been someone who’s always been available and not enough can be said about that.
