Trabzonspor drop Todd Cantwell transfer hint as Rangers eye seven-figure profit

The situation with Todd Cantwell at Ibrox is a source of immense frustration for Rangers fans.

 

The ex-Norwich City playmaker is currently propping up the club’s reserves, training away from the first-team having exiled himself from the Rangers squad.Philippe Clement revealed earlier in the summer that Todd Cantwell had come to his office to demand a move away from Ibrox.

 

The thing is, Todd hasn’t had quite the number of suitors his throbbing ego believed he would have.

 

But as the transfer window bottlenecks and moves slowly start edging closer, there’s some positive news on the Rangers front as the sounds around Trabzonspor get louder.

Trabzonspor have already been hard at work in the transfer market this summer.

 

Having already signed two of Todd Cantwell’s former teammates, the Turkish Super Lig are well aware of the Rangers squad.Croatian left-back Borna Barisic and Scouse midfielder John Lundstram both joined Trabzonspor at the end of their contracts.

 

The Turks also had a bid thrown out for Rangers captain James Tavernier earlier in the summer.

 

Trabzonspor representatives allegedly jetted out to meet Todd Cantwell and his team last week, sparking much chatter around an impending Rangers exit.

 

Now, the Turkish side’s manager has been talking about their transfer plans and is clear that a midfielder is one of two additional signings they’re targeting before the window slams shut.We have a transfer plan for two more players,” said Abdullah Avci, as quoted by the Daily Record. “The chairman is very busy.

 

“So far, we have gone with good, balanced, and correct players. My excitement is very high, as in the championship year, and so is the team’s.

 

“We hope that we will get better results as the transfers are made. Our priority is the forward, then maybe the midfielder. We will evaluate the process after that.”

 

With regards the striker it’s worth noting that Trabzonspor have been heavily linked with Wout Weghorst, who was the subject of swirling Rangers rumours earlier in the window.
