Chris Mepham agrees transfer to new club after Rangers speculation

Rangers won't be signing Chris Mepham this summer.

That's because the 27-year-old has agreed to move to West Brom.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Bournemouth defender had emerged as a target for the Ibrox club.

The Welsh international once cost £12m, when he signed for the Cherries from Brentford back in 2019.

Mepham spent last season on loan at Sunderland. He helped them gain promotion to the Premier League, making 38 appearances across the campaign.

He's been free to find a new club this summer, with Bournemouth keen to get him off their wage bill.

And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has said the centre-back has agreed personal terms with the Baggies, as he gets set to head back to the Championship.

He wrote on X: "Chris Mepham has agreed terms with West Brom, deal done as fee has been agreed with Bournemouth and here we go! Medical to be done shortly."
