Rangers looking elsewhere after Wolves loan

A few weeks ago there was talk Rangers were looking to extend Nasser Djiga’s loan spell at the club from Wolves.

The defender, who joined the SPL side last summer, had enjoyed plenty of game time in Scotland as Rangers clung on to faint title hopes.

However, their campaign fell away and Djiga had a poor end to the season, coming under fire from pundits.

Now it has been reported in Scotland that Rangers will not pursue a move for the Wolves defender - and will instead turn their attentions elsewhere.

Big Lopez development

As reported by our Wolves man Liam Keen yesterday, Fer Lopez could stay at Wolves in the Championship next season.

Having returned to his former club Celta Vigo just months after arriving - both the player and the Spanish side had indicated a desire for him to remain in La Liga next season.

But Wolves will look at him ahead of next season in the Championship. Catch up on it all here:

Wolves target to become free agent

It was reported on Tuesday that Wolves are one of a number of clubs looking at out of contract Brighton winger Solly March.

The wide man, who has featured heavily for the Seagulls in the Premier League until injuries have hit in recent seasons - is out of contract this summer.

It was not known whether they were going to offer him a key deal - but it was confirmed late on Tuesday that he will now depart the club and become a free agent.

Wolves, along with a host of other clubs including Premier League sides have been credited with interest.

Albion loanee to become free agent

A loanee who played a number of games for Albion last season is set to become a free agent this summer.

Charlie Taylor was brought in at Albion last summer from Southampton on a season long loan deal.

Across the course of a difficult season, the 32-year-old made 20 starts and eight substitute appearances, as Albion survived the drop.

His loan deal has now ended and according to reports on the South Coast, he is not set to get a new deal.

Out of contact West Brom man in demand

Josh Maja has a West Brom contract offer on the table - with reports emerging he is wanted by Scotland’s SPL giants.

Maja made 43 appearances for Albion last season scoring six times. He showed flashes of what he can do, but didn’t get near the heights he hit early in the previous season, where he scored ten goals in 16 games.

Albion have tabled an offer to Maja but it has been claimed that both Celtic and Rangers hold an interest in the striker.

There is no suggestion he has been offered a deal in Scotland - but both clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on the situation and have been long term admirers of the Albion forward.

Arsenal ready to test Villa resolve

Arsenal are reportedly ready to increase their interest with Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers ahead of a summer move.

The former Albion graduate has seen his stock continue to rise in recent times at Villa - and helped the club return to the Champions League and win the Europa League.

On the back of making Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad, it has been claimed Arsenal have conducted preliminary talks with Rogers’ representatives.

Other reports have claimed any deal would be worth up to £116m, making Rogers a potential record signing for the Gunners.

Valencia want Villa man

Spanish side Valencia are set to ramp up their interest in Villa’s Andres Garcia.

Garcia signed for Villa back in January 2025, but has made just eight starts and ten substitute appearances in the last 16 months.

It was claimed in January of this year that Valencia had been keen to bring Garcia in - but a deal was turned down.

This season he has featured for just 109 minutes across eight matches - and now the Mestalla club are ready to make a move.
