'Steal', 'Like the look of this guy' – Rangers fans react as PL forward deal reportedly edges closer

Sat 13 January 2018 20:00, UK

Rangers fans have been reacting on social media to the news that the Light Blues are being linked with a move for West Brom’s Tyler Roberts.
The Scottish Sun are reporting that the player is edging closer to signing a pre-contract agreement with the Gers, who would only have to pay a compensation fee of £300,000 for the 19-year-old.
The Welsh Under-21 international, who has also been linked with Marseille, is on-loan at Walsall until the end of the month, where he has scored five goals so far this season.
The Premier League forward would provide support for Alfredo Morelos up-front for the Gers, who are currently without the injured Kenny Miller.
Rangers fans seem cautiously optimistic about the transfer and here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:

Tyler Roberts close to signing a pre-contract with Rangers.
Should benefit from coming in to a settled-ish squad as a youth punt and not being expected to be a key player straight off the bat.

Hopefully turns out better than our last punt in Dodoo. It’s the right path to be on, pick up youngsters who don’t have a chance due to the PL money. It’s low risk high reward ????

Really like the look of this guy from the usual YouTube links etc. Very good feet and turns in another direction very quickly.

Very highly rated by all accounts. I think he’s exactly the kind of signing that we should be looking for.

If Roberts signs this month he will be the third signing made by Graeme Murty’s side following the arrivals of Sean Goss from QOR and Jamie Murphy from Brighton.
The Gers are currently in Florida and are set to play Corinthians in the second of their two Florida Cup matches following the 1-0 win over Atletico Minerio.
After the trip to America Rangers return to Scotland and begin the second-half of the season with a Scottish Cup tie against non-league Fraserburgh next Sunday.
