According to TEAMtalk, Rangers would prefer a loan with a January buyout option for Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt.
On November 27, the online publication stated that the 22-year-old had been informed that he may sign a short-term contract during the winter transfer window.
The Gers are one team that is still interested, but since the striker’s contract doesn’t expire until 2027, they might not be able to meet the asking price.
Joe Gelhardt is wanted by Rangers on loan from Leeds United.
Without a doubt, Philippe Clement needs goals in his team after a challenging season that has caused them to lag behind in the Scottish Premiership.
Hamza Igamane hasn’t really made an impression in Govan, and Cyriel Dessers has maintained his inconsistent play into current season.
Danilo has been playing recently and is gradually getting better, but depending on the Brazilian after such a long injury would be risky.
Gelhardt might end up being the perfect loan candidate if the Gers decide to make a January move for a number nine.
The former Wigan Athletic player has a wealth of Championship expertise that can be useful in Scottish football.
Additionally, Celtic has previously expressed interest in the young forward [Yorkshire Evening Post], which suggests that he would be a good addition.
The Light Blues could make a worse mistake than bringing him in from Leeds if a loan agreement with a buyout option is cancelled.
