Rangers star Connor Goldson has the most ball recoveries in the Europa League this season, outranking the likes of Arsenal-linked Frankfurt defender Evan N’Dicka.
The Gers vice-captain, 29, has had an outstanding run on Europa League duties and his value to the team is exemplified by the 60 ball recoveries he’s made in the competition this season.
Goldson blows the competition out of the water and is six higher than his nearest competitor on 54, something that highlights the player’s value to the team.
Both Brazilian Galatasaray centre-back and Brondby defender Andreas Maxsø – who played Rangers in the group stage – sit below Goldson on 54.
Evan N’Dicka – who turns out for fellow Europa League quarter-finalists Frankfurt – sits on 50 alongside Dinamo Zagreb star Boško Šutalo.
Rangers’ Goldson outranks reported Arsenal target Evan N’Dicka
Interestingly, 22-year-old French centre-back Evan N’Dicka is one of the most highly sought-after young defenders in Europe with £19m links to the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham [Express].
It’s solid company for Connor Goldson to keep and exemplify both his contribution and value to this Rangers side.
The situation surrounding the ex-Brighton centre-back’s contract continues to rumble in the background amid reports in Scotland that the defender will head back down south this summer.
Connor Goldson joined Rangers in 2018 in a reported £3.5m deal from Brighton and has been a stalwart for the club in defence ever since.
Playing every minute of last season’s legendary 55-winning campaign, Goldson has played 210 games in total for the Gers, scoring 20 goals.
Whilst he might not be getting the press of Evan N’Dicka, Connor Goldson also proved vital once again for Rangers at the weekend.
