da betano casino: Glasgow Rangers are finalising a move to bring midfielder Todd Cantwell to Ibrox, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Lowdown: Summer profit

da cassino: Rangers spent just shy of €15m (£13.1m) over the summer, with centre-back Ben Davies their most expensive signing from Liverpool.

The Ibrox club actually made a healthy profit after moving on Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo to Ajax and Southampton respectively, exits that brought in over €30m (£26.2m).

Michael Beale is yet to add to the squad in what is his first transfer window in charge of the club, but it looks as if a first transfer is now on the verge of being completed.

The Latest: Romano’s post

Romano took to Twitter on Thursday evening to share an update on Cantwell and Rangers. He said that ‘Rangers and Norwich are now signing contracts’ ahead of a transfer, with an ‘agreement in place on all the details’.

The transfer expert added that the player will undergo medical tests and sign a Rangers contract within the next 48 hours, ‘if all goes to plan’.

The Verdict: A gamble?

Cantwell is primarily a left-midfielder but can also play centrally or on the right-hand side if needed, so will provide Beale with plenty of flexibility in midfield.

Still just 24 years of age, Cantwell has made 129 senior appearances for the Canaries – 19 of which have come during the current campaign. He last contributed to a goal during the 2020/21 season, though, so you could say a transfer is a calculated gamble by Rangers officials, with Cantwell currently Norwich’s 17th-best player this season in the Championship, as per WhoScored.

The player impressed in the Premier League during the 2019/20 campaign, contributing to eight goals, so if he can get back to that sort of form, a transfer could prove to be a wise move – only time will tell.
