Ben Johnson, defender for West Ham United, is reportedly attracting interest from the Light Blues, per the Daily Mail. Leeds United and Sheffield United, two Premier League teams, will compete for the 23-year-old, who has made it plain that he will not be signing a new contract at the Hammers.In order to fetch a good price for the right-back, David Moyes will now be eager to let him go during the January transfer window; else, he will lose him for nothing come summertime. Before agreeing to bring him in this month, it’s unclear how much of a budget Clement has to work with; it could be wiser to tie him down to a pre-contract arrangement this month.
This could allow the 49-year-old coach to not only bring in a reliable defender for nothing, but also allow him to use whatever funds he has available to strengthen his midfield and attack in January.Rangers have had plenty of success with signing players on pre-contract agreements from England, with Scott Arfield being one of the most notable examples, and Johnson could certainly follow in his footsteps.
