Rangers now keen to sign in-demand forward for Philippe Clement
Rangers are looking to add to Philippe Clementand’s first transfer window at the club after Sam Lammers left on loan and injuries to Danilo and Kemar Roofe. Reports suggest they are even going head-to-head with Old Firm rivals Celtic in the hunt for a new striker.Rangers deliver newsDespite signing Fabio Silva on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers already this month, Rangers are still looking to bolster Clementand#039’s frontline with fresh new faces. The Gers have been linked with moves for Michy Batshuayi and Lawrence Shankland, both of whom could have plenty to offer at Ibrox. Former Chelsea striker and Premier League winner Batshuayi would bring plenty of experience to help the younger Silva. Shanklandand’s Scottish Premiership goals this season, 13 goals in 21 games to be exact, would certainly add extra strength to Clementand#039’s squad.According to reports, however, Gerid may not use either option anytime soon. According to Football Insider’s Pete Oand#039;Rourke, Rangers are bidding for Bristol City’s Tommy Conway, but Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers are competing. The demanding 21-year-old caught the eye of many on his last trip to Bristol, where he scored the FA Cup winner over West Ham United..
With 18 months left on his current contract at Ashton Gate, Conway may have a decision to make sooner rather than later. The Ibrox staff hope his trip to Scotland will play a part in their selection, with Rangers ready to sign a deal for the young forward at some stage. With many clubs interested, Conway is sure to be one this month and in the summer transfer window.”Great” Conway could be just what the Rangers need.The last thing the guards want is a short-term solution that would bring Clement to the line. Instead, they could use Conway’s potential and current ability to play straight team football. In Conway, the Gers would have a player ready to perform at the level requested, but someone who is far from the finished article and could still reach the top, creating an ideal situation. Unsurprisingly, the Bristol City man has also attracted plenty of interest.Conwayand’s stats paint a picture of a player on the verge of breaking through, scoring eight goals in 22 appearances this season. Former manager Nigel Pearson also knew all about the Scot’s ability and praised the striker when he handed him his senior debut in 2021.Pearson said, via the Bristol Mail: andquot;Tommy Conway started today and I thought he is brilliant . He was really good. Alex Scott continues, most people at the club had never heard of these players before, the coaching staff didn’t know who they were.andquot;.
Added firepower seems to be the desire at Ibrox and now another option has reportedly been added to the list of potential fresh faces to lead the line. Eight points adrift of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic with two games in hand, any arrival could prove to be a difference-maker for Clement.
