Wolves and West Ham are hot on the heels of securing the services of a Rangers defender in the upcoming transfer window.
Both English sides are likely to play in the second tier next season, with West Ham’s fate set to be decided on the final day of the Premier League season.
They need to beat Leeds United and hope that Tottenham lose to Everton in order to secure their top-flight status.
How long will Danny Rohl be at Rangers?

Wolves ahead of West Ham in race to sign Max Aarons
According to Sportsboom, Wolves have emerged as the favourites to sign Max Aarons ahead of West Ham.
The 24-year-old will be leaving Rangers and returning to Bournemouth following his season-long loan at Ibrox.
The English right-back made 34 appearances for the Light Blues, but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular.
His priority will be to get regular minutes next season, something that will not happen at Bournemouth, as they could even be playing in the Champions League.
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!
What Aarons has said about an extended stay at Rangers
Back in December, Aarons stated that he was loving life at Rangers and would be open to extending his stay at the club.
That was when he had started three out of the last four games after falling out of favour with Russell Martin.
“For sure,” Aarons said when asked about the prospect of staying in Scotland beyond the end of the season.
“Playing for this club and playing at Ibrox are amazing experiences and what you want to be playing in as a player.
“The start was disappointing, but since the new manager has come in, it’s been great, I feel really confident.”
“In terms of how I feel here, I’m loving it.”
It seemed like Rohl was willing to give him a chance during his initial weeks at Ibrox, but then quickly decided that Jayden Meghoma was his go-to left-back, while James Tavernier and Dujon Sterling were his preferred options at right-back.
It is unlikely that, even if the Gers want him for another season, he would want to stay.
He would get regular minutes at Wolves and help them in their quest to return to the Premier League, and would also prefer returning to England.
