Claim Rangers could now sign free agent striker worth millions this year, he has 70 career goals
He’s already racked up 70 career goals.
Rangers could try to acquire a “unbelievable” striker worth millions this summer without spending a dime,
according to a report from dependable writer Mark Hendry.
Rangers Transfer News
Philippe Clement is focused on leading his club to Scottish Premiership gold this season,
but that doesn’t mean he won’t be looking for additional additions before the summer transfer market later this year.
Rangers are still linked with a number of players despite the fact that the winter transfer window has closed,
with talks apparently taking place with Fluminense left-back Jefte,
who was strongly backed to move to Ibrox in January.
Tyrese Campbell, a Stoke City forward, has surfaced as a potential target for the Scottish giants,
as he is said to be comparable to Todd Cantwell.
Rumours of a transfer for Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland persist,
with the Scot a long-time Rangers fan who may be interested in a move at the conclusion of the season.
Rangers could pursue Oli McBurnie.
According to Football Scotland’s Hendry,
Rangers could attempt to recruit Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie this summer on a free transfer.
“He’s a die-hard Gers fan who is out of contract in the summer.
” The Scotland international is a master of scoring in the English Championship with Sheffield United,
however his Premier League record isn’t quite as impressive,
and you’d have to believe the level would suit him more in Scotland’s Premiership.
“Has been a big money signing at previous clubs but if Gers could land the 27-year-old for nothing
they could sell him in a year for a few million.
“”Has been a big money signing at previous clubs but if Gers could land the 27-year-old
for nothing they could sell him in a year for a few million.”
McBurnie might be a solid summer addition for Rangers,
and the fact that he is a free agent reduces the danger of spending a lot of money on him.
Teammate John Egan praised the 27-year-old, saying
: “We went long to him early on and he won every header so why change what’s working.
You know, he’s a big man, he’s competitive,
and he was terrific up top. I’m not sure if they gave him the goal, but he celebrated like it was his anyhow.
McBurnie has 70 goals in his career, including 11 in 88 Premier League matches,
and has also played for Swansea City, Bradford City, and Barnsley.
At 27, the striker is in or nearing the top of his career,
rather than a free signing who is past his prime,
and there is no reason why his physicality and eye for goal couldn’t make him a nightmare for Scottish Premiership defenders.
Shankland is still arguably the best pick this summer,
given his outstanding season, which has seen him top the SPL scoring statistics with 17 goals,
but McBurnie remains a viable alternative.
