da dobrowin： As reported by The Scottish Sun, Rangers are interested in signing promising Arsenal midfielder Marcus McGuane during this month’s transfer window.
What’s the story?
da gbg bet： With manager Graeme Murty now in place until the end of the season, there’s a bit of relative stability at Ibrox right now, especially after avoiding defeat to Celtic in thew recent derby clash.
This month’s January window offers the Light Blues a chance to refresh a squad that was assembled by now departed boss Pedro Caixinha. However, with resources stretched to their limit, the Ibrox side might have to pursue less traditional options to ensure quality arrives in Glasgow.
One player they’re interested in is Arsenal midfielder Marcus McGuane, according to The Scottish Sun.
The paper say that Rangers Director of Football Mark Allen will open talks with the Gunners this week to try and push through a loan deal, facing stiff competition from clubs like Napoli.
Who is he?
Still just 18 years of age, McGuane is nonetheless already talented enough to make his Arsenal first-team breakthrough, making appearances for Arsene Wenger in this season’s UEFA Europa League.
Primarily a defensive midfielder, he could offer competition to Graeme Murty’s first team and provide cover for likes of Graham Dorrans, who is still out injured for another couple of months at least.
Rangers have successfully utilised loan deals from the Premier League in the past with the likes of Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral having decent spells with the club.
With Murty’s coaching experience so far focused on youth football, Ibrox could be a great environment for young loanees like McGuane, also offering Rangers serious short-term quality on a budget.
