Rangers are keen on securing the services of Motherwell midfielder Elliot Watt in the summer transfer window.
Along with Rangers, rivals Celtic are also linked, while English side Cardiff City continue to keep tabs on him.
While Motherwell are under no financial pressure to cash in, they could allow the 26-year-old to part ways this summer.
Which midfielder can make Rangers title winners?
Danny Rohl is looking to sign at least one…
Rangers have made contact to seal Elliot Watt transfer
Rangers have made an initial enquiry towards securing the services of Watt in the coming weeks, according to the Scottish Sun.
Motherwell want nothing below £3m as they are aware of the growing interest being shown in the 26-year-old.
Celtic and Cardiff have also made contact with Motherwell to gauge their stance on the sale of the midfielder this summer.
Which area should Rangers prioritise on strengthening this summer? 🤔
Andrew Cavenagh has made some bold promises!
Watt’s contract at Fir Park does not run out until June 2027, with the club holding the option to extend it by another year.
Jens Berthel Askou leaving Motherwell for Toulouse could be another reason why the Scottish midfielder decides to part ways with the club.
However, no decision has been made about Watt’s future, but the Fir Park outfit are expecting bids this summer.
How Danny Rohl can look to get the best out of Watt
While strengthening the midfield is not the priority for Rangers this summer, it is understood that at least one new midfielder will be joining.
If Watt does move to Ibrox, Danny Rohl will likely have him as the anchor in a double pivot and will utilise him in the build-up.
The 26-year-old’s passing range and composure would undoubtedly help the team progress through the thirds, and he would be an ideal link between the defence and attack.
Watt’s defensive ability means that he could be a screen shielding the backline and breaking up play as and when it suits him.
As he’s got an eye for long-range passes, he becomes a threat on counterattacks, and he could find runners in the final third from defence.
With Watt, Rohl has the flexibility of playing either a two-man midfield or even deploying a trio in the middle of the park to gain control of the game.
