David Prutton, a Sky Sports presenter, believes Tyrhys Dolan should consider a move to Rangers or Celtic following reported interest in the Blackburn Rovers attacker.
The 23-year-old is out of contract at Ewood Park and will take his time making his next move this summer. Rovers have made a contract offer in the hopes of keeping him, although it is possible that he will obtain a more lucrative deal elsewhere.
Apart from Rovers, the Lancashire Telegraph understands that no other club has made a formal proposition to Dolan. The winger is now on holiday, and a decision will not be made until next month.
Rovers will receive compensation for Dolan’s age, though it will be less than market value. If he relocated abroad, that figure would be significantly less.
A transfer to Scotland has been suggested, and Prutton believes he would need to give either club’serious attention’.
“I think he’s a good player, Tyrhys, always lively, always looks like he’s capable of making something happen,” Prutton told Football League World.
“The expectations of him when he came to Blackburn were not directly related to what his output became, because I believe they thought he was a bit of a slow burner and one for the future, but he quickly settled in and was a key member of a squad that was very competitive in the last few championship seasons.
“I think the frustration with them comes from falling away when it counted, i.e. very early Spring, which meant that at times, barring the final day just now, by the time it got to the final knockings, they were just firmly and regularly in mid-table.
“So I think yeah on a free, or compensation given the age of the player potentially, but Christ when one of those two come knocking, you’ve got to give it some serious thought.”
