Conor Coady breaks Rangers transfer cover as Russell Martin now knows unseen benefit he will bring to Ibrox
The defender is high up on Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell's shopping list this summer
Rangers target Conor Coady has broken his silence with a Leicester City exit gathering pace.
Record Sport broke the story that the the Light Blues have asked the Foxes about his availability with Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell a huge fan of the England international after previously bringing him to Everton.
The 32-year-old still has a year left on his contract at Leicester but after their relegation from the Premier League and uncertainty over Ruud van Nistelrooy's long-term future he faces a decision on his future.
While Wolves are also said to be keen on Coady, he appears to have put a decision on his future on the back-burner to take on punditry duties for the Club World Cup.
He was on hand for DAZN to break down Real Madrid's clash with Mexican giants CF Pachuca alongside Juan Pablo Angel and Luis Garcia.
And he offered Russell Martin an insight on the tactical insight he could be getting if the Scottish Premiership giants can get a deal over the line.
Coady also hinted at his love of attacking full-backs - a system often deployed by Martin - as gushed over Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Asked if he preferred his defenders on the "under lap or over lap" he said: "I think someone like him can do both.
"I think it is going to be really interesting, he likes to come inside Trent. I think developing the relationship with Arda Güler will be so important for Real Madrid this season.
"It's really, really good for Real Madrid that they have got him going forward this season."
Martin is looking to add to his squad in the coming days and has already lined up a loan move to sign Max Aarons from Bournemouth.
New recruit Lyall Cameron is set to miss Rangers' return to pre-season - as exclusively revealed by Record Sport - while free agent Kwame Poku is also high up on the agenda after leaving Peterborough.

On brink of making history, Inter Miami to go all in against Palmeiras
MIAMI, June 22 (Reuters) - Inter Miami have no intention to play for a draw when they face Palmeiras in their final Group A game at the Club World Cup on Sunday, a result that would send both teams into the knockout stages. It would be a massive achievement for Inter Miami, who beat Porto and drew against Al Ahly in their first two games. Palmeiras are top of the group on four points, ahead of Miami on goal difference with Porto and Al Ahly both on one point. All four teams can still qualify for the last 16 but only Miami and Palmeiras have their fate in their hands. Palmeiras need a draw to qualify top of the group. The group winners will face the second-placed team in Group B, currently led by Botafogo with six points while Champions League winners Paris St Germain are second on three points. KEY QUOTES: Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano: "We're facing possibly one of the most important games in the history of our club. Above all, let that fill us with enthusiasm to be able to play it, let it not be a burden, not a burden, but an excitement and a challenge for this group of players who are also doing well up until now. "It would be a big mistake if we went into it thinking about not playing it and only about the result. I think that when you think about the result and don't go into it, certain things can happen during the game that make it very difficult to get back into the game. In the end, our idea is to go and win the game like we've always done, like every time we go into a game, whether it's in the Club World Cup, MLS, the Champions League, or any other competition we're involved in."
