Rangers likely to accept £3m Todd Cantwell bid

Writing on their website [9 August], the outlet dubbed Cantwell as certain to leave the Ibrox this summer with the Gers open to sale for a fee between £3-4m.

Rangers name their price for Todd Cantwell
Philippe Clement is eager to rid Cantwell of the books at Rangers this summer and use his large wages to invest in rebuilding his side.
Cantwell is a sellable asset, a commodity that is few and far between at the Ibrox following the sales of Connor Goldson and Sam Lammers, and the Gers stand to recoup a sizeable fee from his sale.

Cantwell failed to make an impact under Clement last season, leading to his transfer request and his exit from the Ibrox seems all but finalised as interest increases in his signature.
He was excellent for Norwich City in the Championship and showed glimmers of his quality in the Premier League, the Gers will be able to use that form to demand the highest possible fee for the Englishman.
His time at Rangers has been surrounded by controversy through his antics both on and off the pitch but that now looks set to end, the move will satisfy all parties with Cantwell playing regular football and the Gers generating much-needed funds to add more recruits to the side.
