Sheffield United are interested in Rangers’ Tom Lawrence, according to the Daily Mail.
On January 18, the site stated that the Blades are among a number of clubs interested in the former Manchester United star, who is out of contract this summer.
The report claims that the Ibrox side have failed to agree new terms with the 31-year-old which has left the likes of Ipswich, Burnley and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Besiktas on alert.
The Norwegian handled Lawrence in his spell with the Red Devils reserves between 2008 and 2011 and could swoop for the former Derby ace this month. [IsciHaber]
Lawrence is expected to quit Rangers.
Given that the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement, it appears that the veteran will leave Ibrox in the near future.
The only question that remains is will it be in January or the summer that he quits the Govan club?
It makes more sense for the Gers to let Lawrence depart during the winter transfer window so that they may earn a fee than to let him walk away for free.
His tenure at Ibrox has not gone well for either party; he has appeared in only eight Scottish Premiership games, scoring three goals and assisted two, but has not been available enough.
He has not appeared in a league matchday squad since the 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen on October 30.
The Bears have Vaclav Cerny and Ianis Hagi at his position, therefore his departure would not hurt Philippe Clement’s team.
