As reported by The Daily Record, Rangers attacker Josh Windass is a target for English Championship side Leeds United this January.
What’s the story?
Windass has shown good progress this season at the Light Blues, being one of their stand-out performers in the first half of the campaign. With transfer activity at Ibrox high this January, it could mean that former regulars find themselves on the fringes of Graeme Murty’s side after the winter break.
Murty has already added the likes of Jamie Murphy and Jason Cummings to his squad, who both play in positions that Windass has been deployed in so far this season.
The Daily Record report that Leeds United are set to test their resolve to hold on to the attacker with an offer than improves on the £500,000 bid that Rangers rejected from Preston North End earlier this month.
Should they sell?
Windass arrived in Glasgow from League Two side Accrington Stanley with a remit to score and provide goals, something he managed to do consistently for his former club.
In his debut season at Ibrox though, the player struggled, failing to score a single goal in the Scottish Premiership. This term there’s been a definite improvement with six goals and five assists in 20 top flight appearances.
That’s an attacking contribution that Rangers should get rid of lightly, but with the arrival of Murphy and Cummings, who both have the potential to provide greater numbers than that, they also shouldn’t dismiss bids out of hand.
A seven-figure fee for the player would be fair compensation and perhaps one that would be difficult to turn down, as popular as Windass is with supporters.
