‘Closing hours of the window’ – Journo shares what he heard about striker Rangers want to sign

Former Eurosport reporter Dean Jones has shared his knowledge of Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland’s connections to Rangers.

On February 11, Jones stated to Give Me Sport that, up until the last moments of the January transfer window, the 28-year-old had not completely ruled out leaving the club and maybe moving to Ibrox. Additionally, he makes the suggestion that the fact that he hasn’t signed a contract extension at Tynecastle despite the window closing could indicate a summer transfer to the Gers. Indeed, Hearts supporters are definitely not doing too much better here, he added, as he hasn’t signed a new deal and there will likely be more rumors that another team will try to recruit him

 

I was not assured that he would stay in Hearts, not even during the window’s last hours. That probably says a lot about the direction this guy’s career is going to go in the future.

Rangers to Shankland still in the works
Shankland’s summer transfer to Ibrox is still quite likely to happen, and there may still be conversations going on between the striker and the team.

Rangers’ interest in Shankland shows that Philippe Clement’s team still has interest in him, even though the trade did not happen during the January window.

The 28-year-old is a desirable addition for the Gers as they look to expand their offensive options because of his strong performances in the Scottish Premiership and his prolific goal scoring record.

Furthermore, the fact that Shankland is still without a new contract at Hearts adds to the rumors surrounding his possible exit.

Rangers may prioritize obtaining the Scotland international’s signature in the forthcoming summer transfer window given that they were somewhat quiet during the winter transfer window in terms of permanently signing a first-team striker. He might score more than 20 goals in the league over the next several seasons and would undoubtedly be a perfect fit for Clement’s team
