James Lawrence a Rangers transfer target as Steven Gerrard weighs up £3m move for Anderlecht star

 

The centre-back is on a list of potential signings but Championship sides Stoke and Swansea are also interested.
Rangers are weighing up a £3 million move for Anderlecht and Wales defender James Lawrence.


Mailsport understands the 26-year-old left centre-back is on a list of Ibrox targets, as Steven Gerrard looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new campaign. 

The Rangers gaffer is a big admirer of Lawrence but could face stiff competition from Championship clubs Stoke and Swansea for his signature.
Gerrard is still on the look-out for at least one new centre-half - having so far failed to land Oldham youngster George Edmundson.


He spent £3million to snare Connor Goldson a year ago and will have to splash out a similar fee to land Lawrence, who would provide provide competition alongside Niko Katic.

 

English-born Lawrence grew up in Holland as a kid and had spells at Ajax, Sparta Rotterdam and RKC.
He then moved to Slovakian outfit AS Trencin where he won two league and cup doubles between 2014 and 2016.
That earned him a switch to Belgian cracks Anderlecht last summer, where he made 27 appearances as they finished third in the top flight.

But Lawrence’s future is now uncertain after the return of legendary figure Vincent Kompany as player-manager following his departure from Manchester City.


That has alerted English clubs to his availability, as well as Gerrard who has already added Jordan Jones, Jake Hastie and Greg Stewart this summer.
Lawrence already has five caps for Wales and started for Ryan Giggs’ side in both of their Euro 2020 qualifying defeats to Croatia and Hungary last week - scoring an OG against the Croats in Osijek.

What sort of midfielder is Aribo?  Defensive, creative or box-to-box?

Probably more creative than anything else; maybe box-to-box too.

 

According to Transfermarkt, he's played Left-midfield (6 times), Right-midfield (4), Central-midfield (18) and Attacking-midfield (10).

 

He got 9 goals and 5 assists in 36 games.

Imagine we could nail all these guys 

 

Is that an optimist’s statement of fact or a question of hope?

 

S-4lB doesn’t have a record for spouting rubbish.

Some training video published today by RTV ... dunno whether it really is up to date though, as Kent, Worrall and Coulibaly are all there, but no Jones. Katic should be away with Croatia's u21s ...
