Leeds United are one of the clubs who are interested in signing Rangers defender Connor Goldson but the 27-year-old might not be moving to Elland Road in the summer.
Goldson joined Rangers from Brighton and Hove Albion for around £3 million in the summer of 2018 and since then, he has been a regular feature for the Gers. During the 2019-20 season, the centre-back has featured in 51 matches across all competitions scoring four goals.
And while Marco Bielsa is eager to land him but, at the same time, Premier League side West Ham United could provide a tough competition in this transfer.
Hutton told Football Insider: “I think on the whole he’s been brilliant, he’s been a stand-up leader, he’s filled in for James Tavernier as captain if he wasn’t available.
“He made a couple of mistakes towards the end of the season – it happens, we’re not all perfect, we make mistakes – but it’s how you bounce back from that.
“On the whole, he’s been a very good signing for Rangers so it doesn’t surprise me big teams like Leeds are looking at him.
“He’s obviously had good appearances in Europe that a lot of clubs will be watching. I don’t think it’s just Leeds that are interested, I’ve heard rumours of other clubs.”
Leeds United or West Ham: Where is Connor Goldson heading?
Like Bielsa, David Moyes is also keen to strengthen his defensive line for the next season and Connor Goldson will be the perfect addition to the squad.
And if given the change, the centre-back will love to return to the Premier League but Steven Gerrard will try his best to hold onto one his biggest assets.
Connor Goldson is under contract at Rangers until the summer of 2022 and as per some rumours, the Gers are looking to offer him a new deal at the club.
But given the current financial situation, the Rangers management might pull the plug on this deal and let Goldson leave during the upcoming transfer window.
And if either Leeds United or West Ham United want to sign the 27-year-old, then they will have to pay a transfer price in the region of £6 million.
