Rangers are looking to sign former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy as a free agent. The striker left Cremonese after spending one season in Italy and is available this transfer window. Vardy has vast Premier League experience after making history with Leicester. The former England international could undoubtedly be a valuable addition up north, just like Jermain Defoe.

Why it matters for Rangers

With Derek McInnes in search of a new striker after Youssef Chermiti's injury, the Englishman's name has been suggested as an option to bolster the Gers' attack. Rangers are currently 9th in Premiership, 1 point from 2 games, with a recent form of LD, and 5 points behind leaders Celtic. Ex-Scottish attacker Gordon Dalziel believes that if the finances made sense, the Glaswegian outfit should take a gamble on Vardy. The centre-forward may still have what it takes to consistently contribute goals for the Govan side, at least for the 2026-27 campaign. As Rangers prepare for their next fixture against Kilmarnock on December 26, they will be looking to improve their goal difference of -1, having scored 2 goals and conceded 3 so far this season.
