Jonson Clarke Harris keen on Rangers transfer as chase heats up for Peterborough goal machine

In-demand Jonson Clarke-Harris is interested in joining Rangers amid a host of teams across Europe circling around the free-scoring Peterborough striker.

Record Sport understands Bournemouth, Sheffield United, West Brom and CSKA Moscow are among the sides who are closely monitoring the 27-year-old.

Rangers are long-time admirers of the former Bristol Rovers forward and the Ibrox side scouted him extensively last season as his 33 goals helped fire Posh to Championship promotion

It comes after Steven Gerrard admitted he's fed up with fervent speculation surrounding talisman Alfredo Morelos with Porto still keen to test their resolve.

The Ibrox boss doesn't have his problems to seek at the top end of the pitch with the Colombian still on holiday and Kemar Roofe suspended for the Champions League qualifier against either Malmo or Helsinki. Jermain Defoe also limped off against Arsenal.

Peterborough have become specialists at developing players before selling at a profit and the London Road side have their star man under contract until 2024.

But despite a host of clubs registering their interest, it's understood Clarke-Harris would relish the opportunity to take his next step at Ibrox.

Former Celtic target Ivan Toney left for Brentford last summer and bids are expected for the likes of Clarke-Harris and Siriki Dembele before the window shuts.

Rangers have added John Lundstram, Fashion Sakala and Nnamdi Oforboh this summer as Gerrard and sporting director Ross Wilson look to build from a position of strength.

But former Bournemouth star Ofoborh's Ibrox career is currently on hold after his ECG raised a "red flag".

Heerenveen star Joey Veerman has been linked with a switch to Ibrox but no bid has been made for a player who is wanted by Hellas Verona.
