Rangers: Premier League club in Rory Wilson talks
A club from the Premier League are reportedly now in talks to sign Rory Wilson from Glasgow Rangers.
The Lowdown: Contract rejected
It has been reported that Wilson has rejected a lucrative contract offer at Ibrox, despite meeting with Ross Wilson and Giovanni van Bronckhorst for talks about his future in the first-team at Ibrox.

The Latest: Brighton talks
As per Football Insider, Brighton and Hove Albion are now ‘in talks’ over signing Wilson, and have made their move ahead of other sides in the Premier League.

Yes
No
Wilson is out of contract in the summer, and a deal to take him to the Amex Stadium would only cost in the region of £300,000 in development costs.
The news outlet describes the prospect of losing him as a ‘major blow’, given that he is set to suffer the follow a similar path to now fully fledged Scotland international Billy Gilmour.
The Verdict: Shame
It would certainly be a shame if the Gers were to lose Wilson, but it looks like his fate is already sealed.
