The Latest: Cantwell set for medical
According to Vital Football (via Ibrox News), Cantwell is ‘already in Glasgow’ to prepare ‘for a medical’ that will officially complete his move to Rangers.
The source doesn’t specify a transfer fee or even whether this will be on a permanent or loan basis, but either way, Beale is set to make the Canaries maestro his first signing.

The Verdict: Lawrence replacement
Tom Lawrence has recently suffered a fresh injury setback, and with no timeframe on his potential return, Cantwell would be the perfect replacement. having been dubbed ‘God-given’ by Gary Cockaday.
The Championship playmaker is full of creativity with 23 goals and 20 assists to his name throughout his career, not to mention that he can operate in three different attacking positions (Transfermarkt).
Beale will find this a hugely attractive attribute, and with the boss in need of reinforcements and Cantwell in need of a fresh start, this is a move suitable for both parties.
