Rangers have have swooped in with a £2m offer for Preston North End midfielder Daniel Johnson, according to our sister title the Daily Mirror.
Steven Gerrard has been open that he wants another midfielder to complete his squad and the skillful playmaker could fit the bill.
Although it has been reported Rangers have made a bid, Record Sport understands at the moment he is on a list of transfer targets.
The Jamaican has made 219 appearances and scored 43 goals for Preston since arriving at Deepdale in January 2015 but has blossomed in the last 12 months.
The 27-year-old has been moved from central midfield into a number 10 position by boss Alex Neil and was a major factor in the Deepdale club's march into contention for the Championship play-off palaces.
The Northern club eventually finished ninth, but Johnson racked up an impressive 12 goals and eight assists.
The former Aston Villa trainee is out of contract in a years time and the Lilywhites face losing him on a pre-contract deal in the summer for nothing if they don't agree a deal now.
The Ibrox club would be able to seal a contract in January for the 21/22 season on a free.
