Player keen to leave Rangers after talks – Wants Philippe Clement’s side to make exit easier

According to sources, Rangers’ pursuit of a left back may lead them to consider an English defender who was once

dubbed “exceptional” by current Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.

The futures of Ridvan Yilmaz and Borna Barisic are both uncertain,

so the Ibrox club has been looking for a number of full backs this month.

Now, it’s rumored that they are considering a move for Luke Thomas, a star for Leicester City.

The 22-year-old left sided defender was on loan with English Premier League side Sheffield

United earlier this season but returned to his parent club recently after starting

just 11 games and now Foxes boss Enzo Maresca is said to be happy to send him out on loan in order to

get much needed game time – and that has reportedly alerted Rangers boss Philippe Clement.

Gijs Smal, David Jurasek, and Cameron Pring have all been heavily linked to moves to Glasgow,

but The Daily Mail reports that the Gers are now aiming to lock up a late deal for

Thomas before the transfer window closes in order to increase their options at the back.

The player, who TransMarkt values at £10 million, had earlier in the transfer window received

reports of interest from Sunderland, an EFL Championship team.

Yilmaz, the club’s current left back, scored his first league goal on Wednesday as Rangers defeated Hibs 3-0.

However, Yilmaz may return to his home country of Turkey during the transfer window as Galatasary

has expressed a serious interest in the defender.

Erden Timur, the president of Galatasary, stated about Yilmaz: “It is improper to discuss player names,

and I am unable to comment on them.

When asked specifically about the 22-year-old full back, Barisic said, “That’s why I cannot answer.”

Gazzetta dello Sport had speculated that AS Roma had made an initial attempt to sign the 31-year-old.
