As Tyrese Campbell’s contract with Stoke City expires, Rangers are expected to make a move for the former Manchester City striker.
Under former manager Steven Gerrard, the Gers were heavily linked to a January 2020 transfer for the hitman.
Tyrese Campbell was once anticipated to follow suit after Rangers made deals to bring players like Joe Aribo (Charlton) and Calvin Bassey (Leicester City) north of the border.
However, after a deal fell through and Campbell ended up signing a four-year contract at Stoke City, there are rumors that Rangers is considering bringing the now 24-year-old back.
Rangers reignite curiosity in Tyrese Campbell
The Ibrox side has allegedly “revived their interest” in Tyrese Campbell as his Potters contract is coming to an end, according to Football Insider and Wayne Veysey.
With just one Championship goal this season, Stoke’s past four years haven’t quite gone as planned due to injuries and a lack of consistency at the Britannia.
Tyrese Campbell’s season has been hindered thus far by a hip injury, which may cause concern among Rangers fans who are eager to steer clear of signing players with significant injury histories.
Curiously, the source also states that Hellas Verona’s attempt to sign the striker from Stoke in January was unsuccessful, with the English team, who are fighting for their Championship lives, rejecting a £1 million deal.
Stoke’s striker nearly signed with Gers
Additionally, Tyrese Campbell has stated in the past that he was on the verge of signing a contract with Rangers prior to signing with Stoke.
The attacker stated in remarks from 2022 that a move appeared to be “going to happen” before receiving guarantees of playing time from former boss Michael O’Neill in the Championship.
Tyrese Campbell responded, “Yes, there were a few instances where a move was going to happen.”
“This was only really during the time before I signed my new contract at Stoke, when I wasn’t really playing.” At nineteen going on twenty, I had to play football.
It was just one of those situations where I felt like I needed to play, nothing against the team, the manager, the players, or anything else like that.
The manager of Stoke, Michael O’Neill, sat me down at the moment and asked, ‘What’s going on?’ It was literally just that.
“I just need to play, I have nothing against the club,” I answered. “Are you going to play if I pick you?” he said. and I responded, “Yeah, duh.” I will not abstain from playing. I am not willing to go. This place makes me happy. over Christmas, I played those games and then I moved on.
Tyrese, a left-sided attacker for Stoke, is the son of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell. In 153 games, Tyrese has scored 34 goals.
After Stoke secured the striker’s services as a teenager, Manchester City was obliged to pay the club £1.75 million, and Campbell joined Stoke in 2017.
