Rangers reportedly to blow EPL club out of water with mouthwatering deal for defender
Rangers are interested in bringing veteran English centre-back Gary Cahill to Ibrox and hand him a £35,000-a-week contract, according to The Sun. The 35-year-old is out of contract at Crystal Palace, but the Eagles want him to stay and sign a new deal. However, while Rangers are ready to meet his demands, Palace’s offer is less basic cash, with extras for appearances. Sportslens View Cahill has nothing else to prove in England having won it all with Chelsea, and a move to link up with former Three Lions teammates Steven Gerrard and Jermain Defoe at Rangers could be appealing. The Scottish Premiership champions are giving the defender a chance to add to his medals and also play in Europe, with two qualifying rounds between them and a place in the group stages of the Champions League.

However, they are also interested in some experienced players at the prime of their careers, and Pereira is an option to bolster their attack. Sportslens view: Pereira was the stand-out performer for the Baggies last season as they were relegated from the Premier League without much of a fight. The 25-year-old took time to adapt to top-flight football, but found form in the second half of the season, ending with 12 goals and six assists from 34 games. He may want to return to the top tier with the Baggies’ relegat...
