Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United are ready to launch bids for Rangers’ star defender James Tavernier, according to reports.
The 24-year old former Wednesday, Newcastle and Leeds’ youth full back has been a revelation up north following his career stalling slightly at Wigan Athletic, and his exuberant displays not to mention stunning goals have caught the eye of English Championship sides keen to improve their squad for the business end of the season.
Tavernier was bought as part of a double Latics’ swoop by Mark Warburton, a deal which included striker Martyn Waghorn for around £600K total – curiously Waghorn, who recently joined Twitter for the first time, is himself also subject to a great deal of speculation with claims Wednesday are also interested in him, claims The Magic Hat today denied.
But it is the Tavernier story which has emerged again in the past 12 hours – the right back had previously been linked out of Ibrox with moves to United or Newcastle speculated.
