Rangers title winner could join Cantwell at Blackburn Rovers as checks made on star amid ‘doubly attractive’ alternative
Rangers can increase their numbers now that the January transfer window is open.
The Sun claims that Ryan Kent, a former Rangers winger, is a target for Blackburn Rovers. According to the source, Jeffrey Schlupp of Crystal Palace is also a target for a loan move from John Eustace’s team.
The Lancashire team is aiming for promotion to the Premier League and currently sits in seventh place in the Championship standings. After losing to rivals Burnley at home this weekend, they are now one point out of the playoffs.
Blackburn landed ex-Rangers playmaker Todd Cantwell in the summer and are now being linked with Kent. Journalist Alan Nixon has written on his Patreon page: “Blackburn are also checking a move for free agent Ryan Kent in the same position but Schlupp can play left-back as well, making him doubly attractive.”

In order to join Fenerbahce in Turkey, he severed his links with the Glasgow team. “Thank you to all the Rangers fans,” he posted on social media at the time. For the rest of my life, I shall remember my time at Ibrox. I want to express my gratitude to all of my teammates, management team, and backroom employees, both past and current. I will miss you all.
If they were to secure his signature, he would give them more competition and depth on the wing. However, the fact he hasn’t played for a few months may mean it takes a while for him to get back up to speed.
