Scottish Premiership outfit Rangers were absolutely shrewd in chalking out some smart deals during the summer transfer window. The Gers plucked some spectacular names like Alfredo Morelos, Bruno Alves, Ryan Jack, Graham Dorrans, Daniel Candeias, Eduardo Herrera and Carlos Pena and lured them to the Ibrox Stadium in order to beef up their arsenal and ensure that they go toe-to-toe against their arch rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership.
However, one of the players which Pedro Caixinha couldn’t manage to bring into his ranks was Motherwell’s striker Louis Moult. Moult was a subject of interest of Rangers and Aberdeen, with the latter’s bid of £350,000 being rejected by the Steelmen during the summer transfer window.
Nonetheless, his contract expires next summer and considering that he is reluctant to extend his stay at the Fir Park, the Light Blues are likely to make a move for him during the January transfer window.
Moult emerged through the youth ranks Stoke Arrows and Stoke City, and was then promoted to the senior side of the latter. But he failed to chisel out a significant place for himself in the ranks of the Potters and was frequently loaned out to clubs such as Northampton Town, Nuneaton Town and Wrexham.
His loan spells proved productive and a couple of seasons ago, he was roped in by Motherwell. He banged 18 goals last season and no wonder why top clubs lined up to make him sign on the dotted line.
With Millwall, Brentford and Blackburn Rovers also very keen to make a move to acquire his services, Rangers should be taking proactive measures after four months to get the first mover’s advantage.
A move to the ranks of the Teddy Bears should be a tempting one personally as well, for they are looking very positive under the reign of a new manager and have a blessed squad now after the summer transfer window. And in a parallel manner, Rangers would get a stupendous player.
Moult is a striker of proven pedigree and has accumulated truckloads of experience under his belt over the course of his career. He has proven his mettle in the Scottish top flight already and considering that he is a 25-year-old, there is plenty of room for his development. Caixinha might already have Kenny Miller, Morelos and Herrera in his ranks, but someone like Moult would offer a special dimension to their attacking arsenal.
