Glasgow Rangers: McAvennie thinks the Gers can’t afford Lyndon Dykes
Frank McAvennie has told Football Insider that he does not think Glasgow Rangers can afford to sign Lyndon Dykes this summer.
The Gers have been linked with a move for the 24-year-old after he impressed in the Scottish Premiership before it was prematurely drawn to a close – he scored nine times and provided eight assists in 25 matches for Livingston. That has attracted the attention of the Ibrox outfit.
McAvennie, though, believes the 54-time Scottish champions will be priced out of a move, saying:
“Dykes has caused problems for the Rangers and Celtic defence.
“He could have tipped his hat to Scotland and I would have endeared him but he is going to play for Australia which is fine.
“A good player but he will cost a lot of money. I do not know if Rangers could afford him.”
It appears that Livingston are looking for £2m for a player who is currently valued by Transfermarkt at £428,000 – that represents a significant increase. However, the Gers have already parted with £3m to sign Ianis Hagi and are still in the race for Ivan Toney, who has been valued at £10m recently.
Would you like to sign Lyndon Dykes?
Yes
No
After having sold almost 35,000 season tickets already, and with the coffers boosted by a new manufacturing deal with Castore, there is no reason from a financial point of view why the Gers couldn’t afford to make that kind of bid. Whether he is the right pick for them, though, is a totally different matter.
