Rangers News: Rangers have entered the transfer race with Hull City and Stoke City to sign Oldham Athletic defender George Edmundson, as per the reports from The Sun.

The report also adds that the League Two defender is valued around £450,000 (h/t The Sun).

Player stats

Edmundson has been a revelation for the League Two side this season with 50 appearances. Despite being a centre-back, he has also contributed to the side’s attack with 2 goals and 4 assists

A youth product of Latics, the 21-year-old had his loan spells at Alfreton Town and AFC Fylde.

Possibilities of signing

Latics will be playing in the League Two next season and this would definitely help the Light Blues persuade Edmundson to Ibrox.

Why should the Gers move for Edmundson?

The Gers restored their form with six straight wins that include last week’s Old Firm derby win.

In the process, the Gers kept 5 clean sheets and the defenders were highly praised by both the manager and the fans.

Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic have been exceptional and remained the first choice for Steven Gerrard.

Joe Worrall is set to return his parent club, Nottingham Forest, this summer, which leaves Gerrard devoid of back-up options.

Arsenal to announce Willian transfer soon

Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Willian Borges da Silva on a three-year contract worth £100,000-a-week according to Dailymail.

The Blues tried to hold down their star player but Willian wasn’t interested in a short deal given his age and found a better offer from the Gunners.

The 32-year old has been consistent for the Blues over the past few years and has displayed some serious performances ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Brazilian for Arsenal would give the club a different dimension to the game and add a great depth to their young squad.

When Arsenal do finally announce the signing it would mean they have beaten a host of clubs, including David Beckham’s new MLS franchise Inter Miami, Manchester United and several other clubs from Serie A. The player’s agent had earlier said that Willian had five different offers.

Willian might be the first of many signings as Arsenal are set for a busy summer as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad ahead of a new season that brings in a lot of expectations from him.
