Newcastle target rising Rangers star Oliver Goodbrand as Magpies close in on Rory Wilson repeat raid
Newcastle United are closing in on a deal for Rangers ' rising star Oliver Goodbrand. Record Sport understands the English Premier League side have made the teenage left-back a top summer target for their emerging talent pool. The 16-year-old can sign professional forms with Rangers this season but they look likely to lose him to the Magpies. Newcastle are willing to pay Rangers training compensation for the Scotland youth international if he commits to them this summer. They would then have to take him north on a scholarship deal because he can't sign professional forms in England until he is 17. Rangers have offered Goodbrand professional terms but it is looking likely he will be leaving. Goodbrand is highly-rated at Rangers and also got B team action last season when he was just 15. It would be a blow to the Ibrox side to see another of their academy graduates move south before they have even turned professional. They lost prolific striker Rory Wilson to Aston Villa in similar circumstances back ins 2022.
