Ben Johnson is apparently wanted by Rangers, and Crystal Palace’s attempt to buy the West Ham United defender has already failed.
Now that the January transfer window is coming to an end, Rangers should be doing some business.
Left back Jeffe seems to be a top target and might leave APOEL on loan to join Rangers after spending time at Fluminense.
With rumors that Lens winger Oscar Cortes and Hearts star Lawrence Shankland are on the verge of arrival, supporters may yet hold out hope for the arrival of another striker.
Rangers have reportedly been connected to a Premier League defender who will reportedly be very difficult to sign, however it’s hard to foresee too much more business.
West Ham United is certain about Ben Johnson, a Rangers target.
Rangers were reportedly in the running to sign West Ham United defender Ben Johnson, according to reports that surfaced earlier in the January transfer season.
Given that Johnson’s contract was about to expire, it was reported that Rangers was in competition with Sheffield United and Leeds United for his services.
Rangers may have sensed a deal because Johnson will be a free agency at the end of the season.
Prior to Thursday’s transfer deadline, Crystal Palace reportedly inquired about signing Johnson; however, West Ham turned down their offer, according to The Athletic.
West Ham is reportedly opposed to a sale because they intend to present Johnson with a new contract in the upcoming weeks.
West Ham would probably respond in a similar manner to Rangers, but the Gers do have an advantage over Palace.
Rangers may still move for Johnson after the transfer window has closed in order to secure him for the upcoming campaign, as Palace is unable to make such an offer.
Although Johnson, a 24-year-old versatile defender who can play all four positions in the back four, could be a good fit for Philippe Clement, he must concentrate on playing for the first team.
Johnson, a right defender by trade, would face James Tavernier, so a move to the Rangers might not be exactly what he is looking for at this time.
Although it doesn’t appear like a deal will be reached before the deadline, Rangers will be closely monitoring Johnson’s situation while West Ham looks to sign him to a new contract.
