Cameron Archer Transfer from Southampton to Rangers
A potential loan move for Cameron Archer to join Rangers is not proceeding, as the deal is set to fall through. Tonda Eckert has confirmed that Rangers and Southampton have been in transfer talks for the striker in recent days.
Team Talk reported that Wolves made an enquiry for Cameron Archer, but the forward is now moving to Rangers, which rules out a transfer to Molineux.
Rangers are in a leading position to complete a loan deal for Cameron Archer before Monday’s transfer deadline. Archer was not in Tonda Eckert’s side for Saturday’s English Championship win over Stoke as Rangers increased their pursuit of the £15million player. According to Record Sport, Rangers are close to finalising a temporary transfer with the transfer window closing on Monday evening. Saints manager Eckert said that there have been conversations going on over the last few days and he also thinks there will be some news in the next two days. Record Sport had revealed on Friday that Rangers wanted to secure a loan for the former England Under-21 international, who cost Saints £15m from Aston Villa 18 months ago. Those talks continued on Saturday, but the Ibrox club face significant competition for the player, who was linked with PSV Eindhoven last summer.
Southampton boss Tonda Eckhert says he expects Cameron Archer to move on before Monday's transfer deadline. Eckhert stated that conversations have been happening over the last few days and he also thinks there will be some news over the next two days. Rangers are trying to sign the striker on loan.
Rangers began exploring a move for the 24-year-old Cameron Archer because Hansa Rostock blocked the transfer of Ryan Naderi. Archer is an alternative for Danny Rohl, who is keen to sign another striker. The former Aston Villa player is keen to leave Southampton this month and has been unhappy with his playing time at St. Mary's for about a year. Archer was omitted from Southampton's squad to face Stoke City on Saturday. According to the Daily Record, Southampton informed Rangers that they would have to cover a large part of Archer's wages if they wish to sign him. Southampton want to free up some of their wage bill and are open to offers for the attacker.
Rangers are considering a loan move for Cameron Archer. Southampton are seeking to reduce their wage budget and would be prepared to loan Archer, provided that a significant portion of his wages is covered. Rangers could complete a deal quickly.
According to Sky Sports News journalist Mark McAdam, Rangers are interested in signing Southampton forward Cameron Archer. The Ibrox side are reportedly looking to strengthen Danny Rohl’s attacking options with the 23-year-old forward, who has not played regularly at St Mary's this season. McAdam also stated that Rangers are interested in Archer ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, as they aim to bring in additional attacking capability to Rohl’s squad.
Cameron Archer, who transferred to Southampton last summer in a £15 million deal from Aston Villa, has caught the attention of Rangers once more. Following Martin's exit from Southampton, Archer experienced limited playing time and nearly secured a loan move to Leeds United in January. Sources from the south have indicated that Russell Martin has expressed interest in reuniting with Southampton striker Cameron Archer at his new club. A potential loan departure from Southampton seems likely, especially with a significant squad overhaul anticipated after their relegation from the Premier League. Archer was previously of interest to Rangers in 2022, and his speed and goal-scoring prowess continue to make him a formidable threat, which coincides with Martin's appreciation for the young talent.
