Zak Lovelace shares plans for summer transfer window amid Rangers exit talk
Zak Lovelace has “no intention of leaving” Rangers this summer despite rumours linking him with an Ibrox exit, the player has told Four Lads Had A Dream.
The 18-year-old’s campaign has been plagued by injury and has made just four senior appearances since arriving in Scotland from Millwall on a free transfer in July 2022.
Despite Sky Sports’ graphic showing Lovelace in a list of Rangers stars’ contracts set to expire this summer, it appears the English forward is set to remain at Ibrox until at least the summer of 2025.
Taking to X on Thursday (16 May), Four Lads wrote: “Zak Lovelace deal runs until 2025. I asked him today & says he has no intention of leaving.”
Zak Lovelace set for Rangers future amid transfer speculation
Despite the youngster’s vast number of injuries since arriving at Ibrox, there is no doubt about his talents and he should be a player who thrives under Philippe Clement’s guidance in the first team.
Lovelace has notched 17 goals and six assists in 32 Rangers B appearances in total, according to Transfermarkt, showing exactly what he could be capable of in a senior setting.
Rangers had to fight off interest from Leicester City and Brighton in the summer of 2022 to secure Lovelace’s signature. It would be a shame to see his Ibrox career be brought to an end already [Daily Record].
The 18-year-old has not played since October when he was stretched off the pitch with a hamstring problem against St Mirren, being replaced by Ross McCausland who has since strived.
It is unclear whether he will be part of Clement’s plans heading into the 2024/25 campaign, but if he can stay fit for a longer period of time, the Belgian should certainly contemplate bringing him into the squad.
