It’s always handy when a club is interested in one of your players also has someone that your own club have been keeping an eye on.
Vital Rangers has already addressed the possibility of taking advantage of Peterborough United’s interest in George Edmundson by suggesting that Siriki Dembele could make the opposite journey but another such opportunity has now presented itself.
Morecambe earned promotion to League 1 via the play-offs, Carlos Mendes Gomez scoring the winner, a player who has long been linked with a move to Ibrox and one who was recently tipped to be an attractive proposition by analysts.
The Dakar born forward recently extended his contract which means that he has 12-months left on his current deal, however, it has since emerged that there is a situation that we could well take advantage of.
Josh McPake enjoyed a fine spell with Harrogate Town last season and has obviously made an impression on a few clubs down south with Morecambe said to be one of many interested in taking him on a season long loan.
Now, without over simplifying, two plus two could equal Gomez coming in the opposite direct on a reduced fee, given that they are rumoured to be looking for a £500,000 fee for their 16-goal star.
Ross Wilson has done a great job since joining Rangers, playing a key role in gradually removing the dead wood and creating a title winning squad, his next job will be to get maximum value for those that depart and bringing in new squad players to replace ones on the fringes or that want to play more regularly.
Gomes has had an interesting journey in his football career, could his next stop be Ibrox? We’ll need to wait and see.
