# Exclusive: Ball backs Rangers target for Ibrox move

**Former Rangers ace Michael Ball believes that Harry Wilson deserves a move to the Scottish champions in this transfer window.**

Steven Gerrard’s side have been linked with a swoop to sign the winger from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

He has spent the season on loan at Cardiff City, making [37 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-wilson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/279455/wettbewerb/GB2/saison/2020) in the Championship, scoring seven goals and registering 12 assists.

The 24-year-old has struggled for minutes for Liverpool, making just two senior appearances.

But Ball believes that his performances for Cardiff and his other loan clubs – Crewe Alexandra, Hull City, Derby County, and AFC Bournemouth – have earned him the right to make the move north of the border to link up with Gerrard’s Scottish champions.

Speaking exclusively to **The Transfer Tavern**, Ball said: *“It does seem like a similar situation to Ryan Kent.*

*“If he goes up there, he probably deserves his move to a big football club. He’s done the hard yards now, he’s developed, and he’s had a great season.”*

Kent, of course, moved to Rangers for a fee of [£7.5m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11788/11800947/rangers-sign-ryan-kent-from-liverpool-for-7-5m-on-four-year-deal) after finding minutes hard to come by at Liverpool and he has developed into a star, playing a key role in their Premiership triumph this term, with [eight goals and nine assists in 33 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-kent/profil/spieler/279457).
