Liverpool are in the hunt to sign Rangers teenager Josh McPake, according to the Daily Record.

The newspaper claims that Steven Gerrard is a huge admirer of the 17-year-old attacker and amid interest from Liverpool and Roma, the Light Blues are keen to get him tied down to a new and improved contract.

 

It is understood that McPake’s current deal is due to expire at the end of next season and he has already rejected one offer that was tabled to him in March.

 

However the Daily Record adds that McPake and his representatives are willing to re-enter talks over a new three-year contract.

 

OPINION: It is not a surprise to see Rangers so keen to get McPake to agree new terms at Ibrox as he is one of Rangers’ hottest young prospects. Last season he was one of the youth side’s best performers as he helped the Gers win the Youth Cup final against Celtic at Hampden Park.

The Daily Record says that Gerrard sees a future for the young attacker in his first team, and as the Rangers boss is so good with young players, it is no surprise to see Liverpool being keen on a summer deal. McPake should not be too hard to pry away from the Scottish Premiership if enough money is offered to both him and the club.

 

However the best option for McPake would be to stay put rather than get attracted to the shimmering lights of the Premier League. If there is a route to the first team at Ibrox then he should sign a new deal, get his head down and work towards that. At Liverpool it could be years before he even gets considered for the senior squad.

George Edmundson has turned down a move to Portsmouth as he holds out for a move to Rangers, Football Insider has learned.

 

As revealed by Football Insider, the League One club looked to be in pole position to sign the in-demand Oldham defender after agreeing a fee in excess of £600,000 for him last week.

 

Edmundson was also given permission by Oldham to hold talks with the south-coast club over a potential move to Fratton Park.

 

Ibrox source have now told Football Insider that, following much deliberation, the 21-year-old has opted to reject a switch to Portsmouth as he has his heart set on joining Rangers.

 

This is a huge boost to Steven Gerrard’s hopes of signing a player he is convinced can make a big impact as his side look to narrow the gap on serial winners Celtic.

 

Rangers are keen on signing on Edmundson, but have yet to agree a fee with Oldham after having several offers rejected by the League Two club already this summer.

 

Edmundson, who has handed in a transfer request at Oldham, is nevertheless eager to make the move north of the border as he looks to continue his development following an impressive 2018-19 campaign that ended with a place in the official League Two team of the year.

 

The ball is now in Rangers’ court to see if they can agree a deal with Oldham for one of Gerrard’s priority targets.
