# Rangers: Leeds want Steven Gerrard

**[According to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-target-rangers-boss-gerrard-to-replace-bielsa/), Leeds United are once again interested in Glasgow Rangers manager Steven Gerrard eventually replacing current boss Marcelo Bielsa.**

### **Gerrard on Leeds radar**

Gerrard has done a fantastic job at Ibrox so far this campaign. The Gers are currently top of the Premiership by [nine](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table) points, and also lead the way in their Europa League group along with Benfica. In fact, they are unbeaten in [20](https://www.skysports.com/rangers-results) games in all competitions so far this term. Such has been his influence, former St. Johnstone manager Tommy Wright said that Gerrard [“gave the whole of Scottish football a lift”.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/glasgow-rangers-tommy-wright-steven-gerrard-ibrox/)

It seems his success has once again attracted the attention of the Elland Road outfit, who are looking to the 40-year-old to replace Bielsa if he does depart.

### **Unsurprising**

It will hardly come as a shock to Rangers that clubs south of the border are interested in Gerrard’s services – that comes with the territory of putting together a team that is playing so well. The fact it is Leeds though will not go down too well with the 54-time Scottish champions’ hierarchy.

The Whites have become something of a nemesis in the transfer market for the Gers. During the previous transfer window, they had a [£10m](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020/0821/1160496-rangers-reject-leeds-l10m-bid-for-kent/) bid rejected for Ryan Kent, whilst they were also linked with moves for [Connor Goldson](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-update-on-leeds-west-ham-plots-to-sign-rangers-colossus-valued-at-6m/) and [Borna Barisic](https://sportske.jutarnji.hr/sn/nogomet/hnl/stigla-je-i-potvrda-za-gvardiola-nudi-cak-20-milijuna-eura-i-zeli-od-njega-napraviti-svjetskog-igraca-15016469), and this [isn’t the first time](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-headlines-steven-gerrard-17982483) they’ve eyed Gerrard either. The gaffer is bound to leave at some point, but it is unlikely it will be this term, at least – he has unfinished business north of the border.
