An update has emerged on Glasgow Rangers and their interest in signing Josh Onomah in the upcoming January transfer window…

What’s the talk?

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has claimed that the Light Blues head coach is keen on a deal to sign the Fulham attacking midfielder next month, as he was also looking at the gem in his previous job.

The reporter told GIVEMESPORT: “I believe he does like Josh Onomah from Fulham.

“He was interested in possibly signing him when he was at QPR, so he’s a player that’s definitely on Beale’s radar.”

The Gers could now land their next version of Kent by securing a deal to sign Onomah as he could follow in the ex-Liverpool man’s footsteps by failing to fulfil his potential in England before excelling in Scotland.

Prior to arriving at Ibrox in 2018, the current Light Blues star had failed to score a single goal in 16 outings for Freiburg and Bristol City combined in the Bundesliga and Championship – on loan from Liverpool. He had also only managed three goals and three assists in 44 second-tier matches for Barnsley in the 2016/17 campaign.

However, Kent was able to hit his stride in a Rangers shirt and has racked up 31 goals and 53 assists in 196 games in all competitions for the club to date, with Beale working with him as the assistant manager for the first three years.

Onomah, meanwhile, has failed to score or assist a single goal in his last 13 Premier League appearances for Fulham across the 2020/21 and 2022/23 campaigns so far.

This shows that, like the current Gers gem, the midfielder has struggled to make his mark at the top level and that a move to the Premiership could allow him to kickstart his career.

Fulham’s midfielder has shown that he has the scope to develop into a player capable of making a big impact in the final third. The 25-year-old wizard produced four goals and six assists in 28 starts in the club’s last two Championship seasons combined – winning promotion in both of them.

Onomah, who journalist Josh Bunting once claimed has “huge potential”, was also capped a whopping 58 times by England at youth level and this shows that he was seen as a promising young player by his country.

Beale must now bring him to Rangers and provide the gem with the chance to make a name for himself in the Premiership, just as Kent has over the last few years.
