Rangers trade news: Alexander Smith is wanted by MLS and Premier League teams
Rangers‘ rising star, Alexander Smith, has attracted attention from Premier League academies and clubs in the MLS, as reported by Tom Bogert.
The 15-year-old midfielder, highly regarded at Auchenhowie, has garnered
interest from clubs worldwide, with Arsenal reportedly among those keen on signing him.
Arsenal has been tracking Smith for a considerable period and is reportedly preparing
a six-figure compensation fee to secure his services.
However, Rangers may face a challenge in retaining the
talented youngster, given the growing interest from various clubs.
Smith’s potential was showcased at the East Mallorca Cup in Spain last April, where
he earned four Man of the Match awards in five games for Rangers. His ceiling as a player remains uncertain,
reflecting his immense talent and promising future.
While Rangers stand to receive a significant compensation fee for Smith, his potential
departure would disappoint fans who recognize his talent and potential.
Rangers’ academy has demonstrated a clear pathway to the first team, as
exemplified by Ross McCausland, who has thrived since being given opportunities
by caretaker manager Steven Davis.
McCausland’s progress underscores the potential for young talents to develop
within Rangers’ setup, and while Smith may be tempted by offers elsewhere, staying in Scotland could offer him similar
opportunities for growth and development. Ultimately, the decision lies with the player,
but Rangers fans hope to see him continue his journey with the club.
