Although it seems that signing elite players for high salaries and transfer costs is becoming obsolete, the most recent Rangers connection is that a multi-million dollar Premier League champion is being considered for Philippe Clement’s roster overhaul.
Considering the players that have already been linked to Rangers this summer, it is clear that the team’s transfer philosophy has changed.
Transfer journalist Graeme Bailey of HITC reports that Rangers are keeping an eye on Kalvin Phillips of Man City.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who joined the Premier League winners from Leeds United, has experienced a few challenging seasons.
To the extent that he no longer plays for England, both on the team and in the squad.
He has only made 31 appearances for City overall, and it seems like his time in Manchester may be running out.
Only a small number of players in the Premier League and at the top of leagues from the top five countries can afford Phillips’ £150,000 per week salary.
Despite a lackluster loan stint at West Ham United, where he spent most of his time on the bench and made just 12 league games, a number of teams are vying for his signature.
For West Ham in league games, Phillips played 360 minutes on the field overall, scarcely raising hopes for a resurgence of his former form.
