Rangers news: Brighton and Leicester might monitor the circumstances around Zak Lovelace

Brighton and Leicester City are emerging as potential destinations for Rangers attacker Zak Lovelace in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The 18-year-old’s contract with Rangers expires at the end of the season, and uncertainty lingers

regarding his place in Philippe Clement’s first-team plans, as reported by the Daily Record on February 7th.

Despite fending off interest from Brighton and Leicester to secure Lovelace’s signing in 2022, Rangers have seen limited senior appearances from him, with just four outings.

A serious hamstring injury since October has further hampered his progress, leading him to return to B Team action.

With the possibility of limited game time for the remainder of the season, Lovelace may consider departing Ibrox. Brighton, renowned for nurturing young talents into first-team stars, presents an enticing option.

The club’s track record, exemplified by players like Moises Caicedo, underscores their ability to develop young prospects effectively.

At 18, Lovelace is still in the developmental phase, making a free transfer acquisition low-risk for Brighton.

Rangers recognize the need to provide him with playing time and secure his future with a new contract.

By doing so, they can leverage his value in the transfer market when clubs like Brighton and Leicester come calling.

Furthermore, Leicester’s potential promotion to the Premier League augments their financial

resources, enhancing their attractiveness to prospective signings like Lovelace.
