Rangers star Nathan Patterson is being watched by some of European football’s biggest clubs including PSG, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester United, as well as ex-Gers boss Steven Gerrard.
Outgoing Ibrox manager Gerrard is said to want the talented right-back at Premier League Aston Villa following the manager’s abrupt exit from Rangers last week.
That’s according to 90min.com and Graeme Bailey, who are reporting that Gerrard also has his eyes on three more Rangers stars.
Gers fans are still licking their wounds after the Liverpool legend jumped ship back to the Premier League with a lack of clarity or explanation really frustrating Ibrox supporters.
The former Rangers gaffer made out he was perfectly happy in Glasgow before moving on at the first opportunity and failing to impress watching fans in his first interview with AVTV.
Now, there’s a suggestion that Gerrard may well return to Rangers in a transfer sense with the ex-Gers gaffer’s imprint well-and-truly stamped on the Ibrox squad.
James Tavernier, Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Jack aside, this Rangers team is made up of Gerrard signings and according to the latest report, four of them could be on Aston Villa’s radar.
Rangers’ Glen Kamara also reportedly on Gerrard radar
Journalist Graeme Bailey claims that top of the Ibrox manager’s wish-list is Finnish international midfielder Glen Kamara and talented Scotland international full-back Nathan Patterson.
Tricky winger Ryan Kent and Croatian international Borna Barisic are also reportedly on Stevie G’s January shortlist but the report claims Rangers won’t be allowing their squad to be “decimated” in two months’ time.
With so much riding on this season, that’s a given, but there is expected to be some upheaval surrounding the squad with 90min.com suggesting it’ll take £30m to sign Patterson and Kamara.
This – according to that report – is an opportunity that Gerrard has told Villa “not to miss out on” with the former Ibrox gaffer well aware of the duo’s abilities.
However, when it comes to Patterson at least, Stevie G could have some serious competition with Everton – who had two bids reaching £8m rejected in the summer – another name interested.
Speaking of Patterson, the right-back got off the mark for Scotland during the international break and some impressive stats back up an impressive performance.
