Steven Gerrard breaks Rangers transfer raid silence as Tavernier and Goldson to Saudi reaches fever pitch

The duo are on the Al-Ettifaq shopping list this summer as Gerrard looks to add stars from his former club.

James Tavernier and Connor Goldson of the Rangers are rumored to be heading to the Saudi Pro League; Steven Gerrard has revealed his ambitions for the summer transfer window.

According to an exclusive interview with Record Sport, Al-Ettifaq has the Rangers skipper and seasoned defender Goldson on his shopping list this summer. The Liverpool star wants to raid his old team in order to restructure his defense for the upcoming year. Despite rising up to sixth place in the standings after defeating Al-Ittihad 5-0 last season, the club has not been able to contend at the top of the Saudi top flight this season.

Even though Gerrard could have the two on his wish list, Philippe Clement has stated in the past that he anticipates the seasoned defense combo to be at Ibrox next season. Following a busy first year in the market following his relocation to the Middle East, the former Light Blues manager has revealed his intentions for the forthcoming transfer window. Gini Wijnaldum, Demarai Gray, Jack Hendry, and Moussa Dembele were all acquired by the former Aston Villa manager. Jordan Henderson also joined the team before he swiftly left for Ajax to return to Europe.

Gerrard stated: “We must do our best during the coming period and improve the team’s situation in the remaining rounds,” despite his desire to close out the season strongly. Next summer, we will have work to do to improve the team’s circumstances.

“We must perform exceptionally well. Although we will work with the players who have given it their all to continue, next summer will see new acquisitions.”

After losing to Celtic, Rangers supporters’ demands for a significant revamp this summer have reached a fever pitch. With a six-point advantage at the top of the table and a superior goal differential, the outcome all virtually crowns the Hoops as champions.
