Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland could be the “last piece of Rangers’ puzzle” ahead of the February 1 deadline tomorrow, according to The 4th Official.
Hearts can give as many new contracts as they like, but Shankland understands that his best chance of taking home trophies is at Ibrox, according to the web source, which was published by Patreon on January 31.
Hearts might lose the 28-year-old on a free transfer rather than getting paid a fee when his current deal ends at the end of the following season.
The last component of the puzzle
Even with Wolves’ Fabio Silva joining on loan, and Cyriel Dessers’ recent return to form as a goal scorer, Philippe Clement is still demanding a poacher to round out his squad.
The Belgian has also been hampered by injuries, as Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima, Danilo, and Kemar Roofe have all missed time due to injury.
James Tavernier, the right back for the Gers, has scored the most goals this season, followed closely by Sima.
Since Alfredo Morelos’ form soured and he left for Santos on a free transfer, Rangers have been unable to locate a reliable goal scorer. With the prospect of competing for the Europa League trophy and the Scottish Premiership title, moving to Ibrox would therefore make sense for both sides.
Shankland, who has scored 47 goals in 77 games for Hearts, is the perfect addition before the transfer window ends on February 1. Instead of waiting until their top player’s contract expires in the summer of 2025, Hearts would be foolish to not sell him for a fair price.
