Rangers transfer news as Lawrence Shankland update emerges at Ibrox ahead of deadline day
Hearts can give as many new contracts as they like, but Shankland understands that his best chance of taking home trophies is at Ibrox, according to the internet source, which was published by Patreon on January 31. Hearts might lose the 28-year-old on a free transfer rather than getting paid a fee when his current deal ends at the end of the following season.
Despite Cyriel Dessers’ recent upturn in goalscoring form and the loan arrival of Fabio Silva from Wolves, Philippe Clement is still calling out for a poacher to complete his team. Injuries have also hindered the Belgian, with Kemar Roofe, Danilo and Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima all suffering spells on the sidelines.
Since Alfredo Morelos’ form soured and he left for Santos on a free transfer, Rangers have been unable to locate a reliable goal scorer. With the prospect of competing for the Europa League trophy and the Scottish Premiership title, moving to Ibrox would therefore make sense for both sides.
Shankland, who has scored 47 goals in 77 games for Hearts, is the perfect addition before the transfer window ends on February 1. Instead of waiting until their top player’s contract expires in the summer of 2025, Hearts would be foolish to not sell him for a fair price. In other Rangers news, the team’s pursuit of Oscar Cortes at Ibrox has resulted in a new injury update.
