Bale certainly believes in Ward-Prowse’s ability, ranking him ahead of himself, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba, and David Beckham, the widely considered free-kick king.
Ward-Prowse is anticipated to continue at Forest in January, despite his lack of playing time under the Forest boss, giving fans hope that they will be able to witness the same potential that Gibbs-White and Bale have praised.
Rangers are unlikely to sign Vaclav Cerny permanently during this month’s transfer window, according to Football Insider sources.
On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that Wolfsburg are expected to seek upwards of £8 million for the 27-year-old, citing growing interest in his signing.
West Ham and Villarreal have been monitoring the winger’s growth and are willing to outbid Rangers in the summer.
As things stand, Philippe Clement’s team is doing everything they can to keep Cerny on loan, and he appears to be staying at Ibrox until the end of the season.
However, given the Scottish club’s financial situation, they are unlikely to be able to match Wolfsburg’s asking price and will have to settle for his short-term stay.
Given Rangers’ opponents’ degree of interest and financial strength in negotiating a permanent transfer, he is expected to move elsewhere after his loan.
Rangers are unlikely to finalize the Vaclav Cerny trade amid West Ham interest.
Cerny has become a fan favourite at Ibrox while on loan, and is largely regarded as one of the season’s highlights.
The Czech international has 12 goals and seven assists in 34 games across all competitions, and he has established himself as an important member of Clement’s squad.
Rangers were hoping to make his loan move permanent in the summer after those performances, but they were disappointed.
Rangers’ financial problems have been well chronicled this season, and they are expected to be constrained in their transfer window action again this summer.
Nils Koppen and the Ibrox transfer staff will instead be charged with seeking low-cost transfers to help enhance the team without incurring significant financial costs.
