Rangers defender James Tavernier has reportedly been linked with a move to Tottenham and Wolves this summer.
Tavernier will be leaving Rangers at the end of the season following the expiry of his contract at Ibrox.
The English right-back has captained the Light Blues to glory and has now decided that it is time for a new challenge.
A four-man shortlist has been drawn up to replace James Tavernier…
We believe Hampus Skoglund is the ideal candidate. Let us know what you think!
Tottenham seriously consider James Tavernier move
According to TEAMtalk, sources have confirmed that Spurs are seriously considering a move for Tavernier in the event of relegation.
With Roberto De Zerbi now in charge, they are examining all potential scenarios ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 34-year-old is open to moving to the Lilywhites even if they play in England’s second tier next season.
Tottenham believe that he will offer much-needed leadership in the dressing room and will be a good short-term fit for them.
Along with the North London outfit, Wolves are also considering a move for the right-back, with them set for a season in the Championship.
Tavernier has been viewed as someone who could have an immediate impact and play a role in getting those clubs promoted again.
Rangers News understands that clubs in Saudi Arabia are also keen on the defender.
Will Rangers sack Danny Rohl if they fail to win the league?
If he goes, who would be a good replacement for him?
How will Rangers replace Tavernier?
While Tavernier’s game time has significantly reduced, his influence in the dressing room has not.
In tense title races, what Rangers need is a strong presence behind the scenes to galvanise the players when the chips are down.
They could find a new right-back to replace Tavernier, but what is more important is his leadership.
It is important for Danny Rohl to build a leadership group and potentially bring in one or two players through the door who could be current or future captains.
Work will have begun on identifying who the potential targets are, but thus far, talks have not been opened.
The focus is on winning the league and qualifying for the Champions League, as that would attract a higher calibre of player.
There are a few names being thrown into the mix, but Rohl is still to finalise who the go-to target is.
Hopefully, they can begin work soon and bring in the player way before pre season.
