Rangers are reportedly on the verge of signing Manchester City winger Brandon Barker on a free, permanent deal, according to reports [Jack Gaughan].
The talented wide man was once City’s Academy Player of the Year and at 22, is entering a pivotal time in his career.
Someone with undoubted talent, it sounds like the winger could get the chance to reach it at Rangers. But what does it say about the club’s high-profile pursuit of a player at another Premier League giant?
The saga surrounding Ryan Kent threatened to rumble on all summer, and rumble on all summer it has.
