Rangers secure Joe Rothwell signing ahead of ‘shock’ call-up, another signing close
Joe Rothwell’s deal is expected to be confirmed by the Rangers.
The 30-year-old appears ready to move from Bournemouth to the Light Blues in an attempt to reunite with Russell Martin.
After replacing Barry Ferguson in the dugout, the midfield player may soon be the English head coach’s second summer acquisition.
Rothwell’s transfer to Govan might rekindle the Gers’ desire to seal another transaction at this early point in the window.
The signing of Rothwell opens the door for Rangers’ next deal.
After such a successful stint on loan with fellow 49ers team Leeds United in the Championship, there is no lack of enthusiasm around the Englishman’s arrival.
It is undoubtedly advantageous to get a player with this caliber and level of expertise, particularly given their previous work in G51 under the new manager.
Nevertheless, the Blues supporters will not want it to be the last signing, and they may be able to fulfill their desire soon immediately.
Martin is increasing his efforts to get Conor Coady to Ibrox this summer, according to a Daily Record article from July 2, page 51.
Within the next 48 hours, the former England international might finalize a Govan swap to join Rothwell, who might be getting a change of his own.
The midfield player, who qualifies for the Scotland national team through his grandmother, might receive a “shock” call-up if he moves across the border.
Within 48 hours, Coady will relocate to the Rangers.
A replacement option must be close to the top of G51’s priority list after losing Leon Balogun at the end of his contract.
This is evident from the possible addition of the Leicester City player following his previous Premier League relegation.
The 32-year-old can play in a back four or back five system and will contribute a wealth of experience.
| Club | Appearances |
| Leicester City | 43 |
| Everton | 25 |
| Wolves | 317 |
| Huddersfield Town | 48 |
Alongside someone like John Souttar, the Light Blues could have an ideal centre-half pairing moving into the new Scottish Premiership season.
