Rob Tanner, author of 5000-1: The Leicester City Story, has claimed on Twitter that Steven Gerrard's side should conclude a deal for the player in the next couple of days. A few more reporting it https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/rangers-on-the-verge-of-signing-premier-league-winner-andy-king-1-4983895 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/andy-king-talks-rangers-over-18935343 Rangers are in talks with Leicester over a loan move for Foxes midfielder Andy King. The 50-times capped Wales international is heading to Glasgow on Thursday to discuss terms and could provide further boost to Steven Gerrard's engine room. King has seen game time dwindle in recent season and will be allowed to move out on loan by former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers. The deadline-day arrival of Belgian international midfielder Dennis Praet has further shunted the 30-year-old down the pecking order at the King Power Stadium. King last played for City in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Newport County in January but has a vast amount of experience and is Leicester's all-time highest goalscoring midfielder with 62 strikes from 379 games. Other than spells on loan at Swansea in 2017-18 and Derby County last season, he has spent his entire career with the Foxes playing in three different levels of the English game. Rangers boss Gerrard has an abundance of options at his disposal in the middle of the park with Joe Aribo , Scott Arfield, Steven Davis, Ryan Kent and Glen Kamara all vying for a spot. But with a huge season lying in wait at home and in European competition, Gerrard is determined to bulk up for the challenge.
Aus Fox Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Great deal for all, made even sweeter when Chris Sutton realises a Leicester reserve player has scored the winner in an old Firm Derby.
The whole world smiles Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 How long does king have left on his contract?

Good deal for all. Look At You !! Bringing facts into the conversation. It's a gutsy Move

Tielemans63 Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Potentially a great move for Kingy. Hope he gets it
Trav Le Bleu Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 He can definitely do something at that level and it would be great if he scored against Chris Sutton's darlings.
HankMarvin Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 was looking promising to start read a bit further and it said loan

Poznan34 Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 would have thought he could do better than Scottish Premiership
Vacamion Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 FTOF, forever. But good luck individually Mr King, and welcome to Glasgow.
car1os Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Live round the corner from the Rangers Training ground... would like to welcome the King of Leicester City to my adopted city!!
Frost Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 The first of many departures hopefully. Good luck with the next chapter Kingy
MC Prussian Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Wish him well, a good choice in terms of sportive perspective. European football still going strong, contender for the league title. Probably guaranteed match practice. King brings with him a vast amount of experience, good dressing room influence and a PL title. You go show them oop North, Kingy!
ealingfox Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 I like this. Dropping what will be the best midfielder to have ever played in Scotland into the Rangers team will do wonders to repair our relationship with Celtic.

ALC Fox Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Imagine if he won the Scottish title to add to League One, the Championship and the Premier League. Wouldn't be a bad haul that.
Tuna Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Not good enough for the premier league and too expensive for most in the championship, it's a pretty good deal for Kingy, he'll have plenty of opportunities with their Europa League commitments. Will look forward to seeing how he gets on and hopefully he'll still get his much deserved testimonial here.

WigstonWanderer Posted 15 August 2019 Posted 15 August 2019 If his contract expires in June 2020, a season loan is effectively a transfer. Good luck and hope it all works well for him.
