Season Games Goals Xg per 90 Goals per 90 2021/22 0.41 (10.97 goals total) 2022/23 0.59 (7.97 goals total) 2023/24 0.88 (2.23 goals total) They were continually linked with Lawrence Shankland, then signed Fabio Silva on loan.
Now Michy Batshuayi has emerged as a reported Rangers transfer target amid continued shouts for them to sign Shankland. So the question that should naturally be asked is, who would make more sense for Philippe Clement?
A deal for his fellow Belgian is by no means a certainty, with astronomical wages a hurdle that must be overcome. Nor would it be a formality to prise Shankland away from Tynecastle.
The Jambos skipper is their top scorer and still has 18 months left on his contract, so it would take a big bid to even get the capital club to the table to discuss a January switch.
