# Rangers: Gers finalising Todd Cantwell move

**[Glasgow Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) are finalising a move to bring midfielder Todd Cantwell to Ibrox, according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1616131479058235414).**

### The Lowdown: Summer profit

Rangers spent just shy of [€15m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/transfers/verein/124) (£13.1m) over the summer, with centre-back Ben Davies their most expensive signing from Liverpool.

The Ibrox club actually made a healthy profit after moving on Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo to Ajax and Southampton respectively, exits that brought in over [€30m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/transfers/verein/124) (£26.2m).

Michael Beale is yet to add to the squad in what is his first transfer window in charge of the club, but it looks as if a first transfer is now on the verge of being completed.

### The Latest: Romano’s post

Romano took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1616131479058235414) on Thursday evening to share an update on Cantwell and Rangers. He said that ‘Rangers and Norwich are now signing contracts’ ahead of a transfer, with an ‘agreement in place on all the details’.

The transfer expert added that the player will undergo medical tests and sign a Rangers contract within the next 48 hours, ‘if all goes to plan’.

### The Verdict: A gamble?

Cantwell is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/todd-cantwell/profil/spieler/332341) a left-midfielder but can also play centrally or on the right-hand side if needed, so will provide Beale with plenty of flexibility in midfield.

Still just 24 years of age, Cantwell has made [129](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/todd-cantwell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/332341) senior appearances for the Canaries – [19](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/todd-cantwell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/332341) of which have come during the current campaign. He last contributed to a [goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/todd-cantwell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/332341) during the 2020/21 season, though, so you could say a transfer is a calculated gamble by Rangers officials, with Cantwell currently Norwich’s [17th](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/168/Show/England-Norwich)-best player this season in the Championship, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/168/Show/England-Norwich).

The player impressed in the Premier League during the 2019/20 campaign, contributing to [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/todd-cantwell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/332341) goals, so if he can get back to that sort of form, a transfer could prove to be a wise move – only time will tell.
