David Brooks ‘to say yes’ as Rangers transfer on the cards
Rangers may now have the chance to secure the services of Bournemouth winger David Brooks this summer.
Having signed Max Aarons and Emmanuel Fernandez as defensive reinforcements and Joe Rothwell and Lyall Cameron to bolster their midfield, the Ibrox outfit are now looking to strengthen their attack.
Vaclav Cerny returned to Wolfsburg after a successful loan spell at Gers last summer.
David Brooks wants to work with Russell Martin
Brooks appeared destined to move to Championship side West Brom this summer.
However, his proposed transfer to The Hawthorns now appears to have fallen through, per the Daily Record on 2 July.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bournemouth | 147 | 22 | 17 |
| Sheffield United | 37 | 3 | 8 |
| Southampton | 20 | 2 | 6 |
| Halifax Town | 5 | 1 | 1 |
This may open the door for Gers to sign him as he’s previously worked with Russell Martin at Southampton.
When asked about his future, he admitted that he’d be open to a reunion if Martin wants him/
He said: “If he wants to, I’m open to it! His style of play and the way he is as a guy, I think he’s an extremely good manager and he’s going to do great things.
“If he wants to take me wherever he ends up, then he can do.”
Rangers must now make contact with Bournemouth
Rangers must urgently contact Bournemouth to secure Brooks, whose versatility and proven quality make him an ideal addition to Martin’s squad.
With his contract expiring in 2026 and limited starts, the Cherries are open to a loan or permanent transfer, potentially at a reduced fee.
Brooks’ creativity would address Rangers’ need for attacking flair following the departures of players like Tom Lawrence and Cerny.
His ability to play as a right winger or attacking midfielder offers tactical flexibility, complementing the Ibrox outfit’s existing forwards.
The winger’s prior success in the Championship and 35 Wales caps highlight his pedigree, making him a shrewd signing to boost the Ibrox outfit’s Scottish Premiership title push and Champions League aspirations.
Acting now ensures integration during pre-season, leveraging the Gers boss’ familiarity to maximise Brooks’ impact.
