Southampton's playmaker Flynn Downes is reportedly being targeted by Rangers this summer. The new boss, Russell Martin, is said to be keen on reuniting with the 26-year-old in the Scottish Premiership, having previously managed him at Swansea and Southampton. Downes was a pivotal player in the Southampton team that achieved promotion through the play-offs in the 2023/34 campaign while he was on loan from West Ham. He is expected to return to the south coast as they prepare for their return to the Premier League, with a transfer fee set at £15 million. Southampton is expected to demand at least £10 million to part ways with Downes, a figure that could potentially deter Rangers. Nonetheless, it is reported that CEO Patrick Stewart has assured Martin that a substantial portion of the £20 million investment from the new owners will be allocated to the Premiership giants.
