Rangers have been linked with a deal for Harry Souttar, but Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca appears to be skeptical.
During Wednesday’s Champions League qualifying triumph against Servette, Gers fans were surely not thinking about moves.After a pretty lackluster second-half performance, perhaps some did.Nonetheless, a shocking rumour surfaced only 15 minutes into the fight with Servette.
Rangers are interested in loaning Leicester City defender Harry Souttar, according to TalkSPORT reporter Geoff Peters.Souttar’s brother, John, already plays for Rangers, and it has been claimed that the two may team up at Ibrox.Souttar cost Leicester a hefty £15 million fee in January, but he may already be on his way out.After defeating Servette, Michael Beale was asked about the rumour, and while he played it down, he didn’t completely dismiss it either.Souttar is a tremendous presence at the back, unlike anything Rangers currently have, and landing a £15 million player on loan always sounds appealing.
Enzo Maresca, manager of Leicester City, makes a statement about Harry Souttar.
Rangers were linked with Souttar after the Australian international was left out of Leicester City’s Carabao Cup match against Burton Albion.Leicester won 2-0, but Souttar’s absence was a major discussion point.Enzo Maresca chose a back three and selected two centre backs on the bench in Jannik Vestergaard and Ben Nelson.
After the game, Maresca was asked about Souttar, but he offered a fairly frank remark to the Leicester Mercury.”It was strictly a technical decision,” Maresca explained.It’s possible that Souttar doesn’t match Maresca’s style and will have to fight for first-team opportunities.If Rangers pursue it, there could be a deal for Souttar, and Beale could look into it if Ben Davies leaves.
