Ibrox Perspective: “John Bennett Targets Championship Sensation Tommy Conway for Rangers’ 2025 Rebuild”.
Ibrox Perspective: Should history repeat itself, John Bennett might pull off a fantastic 2025 Rangers trade.
In order to minimize expenses during the summer transfer window as Philippe Clement rebuilds the team, Rangers and John Bennett will be striving for this. Although Tommy Conway’s current Bristol City position is problematic, it may present the Gers with an opportunity to steal a low-cost deal for a Championship striker who is in form in the summer of 2025.
The 21-year-old is being watched by Old Firm rivals Rangers and Celtic, according to the Daily Record [11 June]. Because of his ongoing contract negotiations, either team may recruit him and simply have to pay the Robins a £300,000 cross-border compensation charge. The striker’s contract is about to expire this summer, therefore teams will have the opportunity to sign him on a pre-contract in January and hold out on signing him for a little amount until later. The Gers have a great deal of experience with Unique Sports Group, having signed Calvin Bassey from Leicester City in June 2020. Conway is represented by this agency.
Rangers will sign Unique Sports Group, making history again. According to Sky Sports, the Gers only paid Leicester £230,000 for Bassey, who went on to make 65 appearances across all competitions and support the team’s 2020–21 Scottish Premiership title challenge. Rangers cashed in on the star after just two seasons at Ibrox, moving him to Ajax for a club record cost of just under £23 million. [Sky Sports]
Considering Conway’s heroics in the Championship this season, and the fact that the Gers could recruit him for as cheap as £300,000, it seems like a no-brainer. He has since joined Fulham in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old, who also had an impact in the FA Cup, scored 10 goals in 39 Championship games, only 27 of which came from the starting position.
He scored to secure a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium before netting the game-winning goal in a 1-0 replay triumph, giving Bristol City a decisive advantage over West Ham United. John Bennett, who made his debut for Scotland on Friday, June 7, appears to be aiming for the right kind of player, one who may bring in a lot of money for the team in the future.
