According to TEAMtalk, Rangers prospect Leon King is set to leave the club this summer, and a move to England is looking increasingly likely. While Ayr United, where the 22-year-old spent an impressive season on loan, would like to keep him permanently, sources indicate that interest from England is increasing.

TEAMtalk has revealed that relegated Premier League duo Wolves and Burnley have both carried out extensive checks on the versatile defender, who can play in the center of defense or in midfield. It is also understood that Championship winners Coventry City are also interested, with Middlesbrough, West Brom and Portsmouth also monitoring the Scotland youth international. A significant factor in the widespread interest is the potential fee, as TEAMtalk understands that a cross-border move for the player, who is under 23, would only require minimum compensation, making him a low-cost opportunity.
