Transfer listed former Rangers man attracts 'interest' from new Championship club

A new Championship club are said to be interested in a deal to sign a former Rangers star. Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League without a trace, failing to meet the standard of the English top flight from minute one this season.

The Blades will finish bottom of the Premier League, and they will start their Championship season of next with minus two points due to financial breaches. Ahead of next season, Blades boss Chris Wilder has promised a squad rebuild, and he will oversee that rebuild once again on a budget.

“We're not going to have an open chequebook and we have to be really smart with this,” said Wilder. “We're going to have to use the loan market again, which I feel we can do. “We'll be one of the outstanding clubs in the Championship for young players to come to. We'll make sure we don't overuse that system, but it's important. We've had gems in Dean Henderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, James McAtee and Tommy Doyle in the past, and if we get one of two of those pedigree of players in on loan, that will give us an extra boost."

Amid those comments, TeamTalk have reported that Sheffield United are interested in a deal to land former Rangers man Joe Worrall. Worrall has spent the second half of this season on loan with Besiktas, and it remains unclear whether the Turkish outfit will move to keep him.

Forest are said to be open to a sale, and the Blades are said to be interested in a deal as they prepare for life in the Championship. The 27-year-old has also completed two other loan spells during his time with Forest, including one with Rangers during the 2018/19 season, making 22 league appearances during that spell.
