"I do expect" - Journo drops ominous Rangers transfer claim, Ibrox fans surely fuming - opinion

Rangers could be sweating over the future of two of Gio van Bronckhorst’s key players at Ibrox with Gers duo Ryan Kent and Joe Aribo in danger of leaving…

Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has claimed that teams will be eyeing up the Rangers pair during the summer transfer window. He believes that both of them will attract interest from elsewhere due to their form for the Ibrox giants this term.

Bridge told GIVEMESPORT: “I do expect Kent, and I do expect Aribo to get interest. I really do. I know you’ve touched on Aribo before with Palace, and I’m sure clubs will look at him. He’s a really, really, really good player.”

Rangers fans will surely be fuming with this claim as both players are crucial for van Bronckhorst and losing either of them would be a huge blow.

Kent may not have found his goalscoring touch this season but he has remained a constant menace to opposing defences with his ability to take players on with the ball. He has two goals and six assists in 19 Premiership matches for the Gers, averaging 1.8 key passes per game and creating nine ‘big chances’ in total.

This suggests that he has been let down by his teammates at times as they have been unable to finish off the opportunities that he has been handing them. Whilst he has not been prolific himself, the creative threat that he offers on the wing is huge for Rangers and that is why losing him would be a major blow for van Bronckhorst and fans will be fuming with the prospect of his departure.

Aribo, meanwhile, has produced seven goals and four assists in 26 Premiership matches from midfield. He has averaged an impressive SofaScore rating of 7.12, showing that he has been consistently delivering top-class performances for the Light Blues this season.
