Reported Rangers target Will Dennis has agreed a new contract at Premier League Bournemouth following a stellar campaign with Kilmarnock.
The 23-year-old stopper has signed a two-year contract extension tying the goalkeeper to the club until the summer of 2026.
This could have sizeable ramifications in any Rangers pursuit of Will Dennis, who was linked with a move to Ibrox alongside Old Firm rivals Celtic earlier in the season.
The goalkeeper had been entering the final six months of his contract at the Vitality but now Bournemouth have moved to strengthen their position with the stopper.
Will Dennis signs Bournemouth contract
Keeping 11 clean sheets for Kilmarnock in 28 games this season, Dennis has been a crucial player in the Ayrshire club’s battle for a European spot.
Having spent the bulk of his career to date out on loan at non-league clubs, it’s been an impressive step up this season and Bournemouth CEO Neill Blake is delighted to get a deal done.
“We’re pleased that Will has committed his future to the club, having made huge progress on his current loan spell,” said Blake.
“Will is gaining excellent experience at Kilmarnock, playing regularly and competing for a European qualification spot, and he’s a talented young player who adds strength to our goalkeeping department.”
Rangers strong in goalkeeper department
Rangers are somewhat blessed in the goalkeeper position with summer signing Jack Butland proving a revelation between the sticks at Ibrox this season.
The former England international has been one of the stand-out signings of the season and Rangers are in a position of strength with the keeper having tied him down on a four-year deal.
Rangers also have Scotland international hopeful Robby McCrorie on their books in their squad, with the Ibrox Academy graduate pushing Butland all the way as things stand.
Philippe Clement has also admitted that the youngster will get his chance at Ibrox at some stage this season.
It means that Will Dennis would face sizeable competition at Rangers and when you factor in the new Bournemouth contract, suddenly those links start to go a little cold.
