Rangers-linked John Lundstram has played his last game for Sheffield United, according to Kevin Phillips, who has tipped him to leave the club in the January window.
Speaking to Football Insider, the former England striker has made the claim based on the midfielder’s reluctance to sign a new contract with the Blades.
“I think he has possibly played his last game for Sheffield United.
“Lundstram has made his intentions clear – he is not signing a new deal.
“I think he will move on in January, whether that be Rangers or another club in the Premier League. I am certain he will be on the move and I think Chris Wilder has accepted that.
“He has been a great servant to Sheffield United.
“If he goes to Rangers he could get a trophy straight away because it looks like they will be winning that league. It is going to be interesting to see where he ends up.”
Steven Gerrard had looked as though he would be happy with his midfield options, however, the ongoing issue that Ryan Jack has with his knee needs to be fixed and Scott Arfield also faces a period on the sidelines after coming off against Hibs with an ankle issue.
Do you think Lundstram will end up at Rangers?
Yes
No
Being able to secure the services of a player valued in the region of £7million on a pre-contract deal or – if possible – a minimal fee, would be a decent bit of business, one thing is certain, if there is any chance of getting Lundstram, Ross Wilson can be trusted to get the best value for Rangers given his track record since arriving at Ibrox.
