Michael Beale offers Todd Cantwell to Rangers clue as Ibrox boss delivers January transfer update

Michael Beale has insisted Rangers are making positive moves in the January transfer market as speculation grows over possible new arrivals at Ibrox.

Rangers have been strongly linked with a move for Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell, who is out of contract in the summer, as well as Everton midfielder Tom Davies, who has fallen out of favour at Goodison Park.

Beale revealed discussions around recruitment are ongoing but admitted that he is prepared to bide his time to secure his top targets after confirming there will be no new arrivals ahead of the Viaplay Cup semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden Park on Sunday.

“I'm pleased with where we are at in the window, these things take time,” said the Rangers manager, who is looking to make his first signings for the club since taking over as manager in November.

“I didn't think anyone would be in before the weekend. I have been very busy along with Ross (Wilson) this week, these things are never as fast as fans want but I am very positive.

"I like Cantwell a lot. I can’t say much more but don’t think you guys are that far off the track with what you are speculating.

"I want anyone who joins us to be a core player and help us build for the next few seasons. I'm really pleased following chats with the board and across the club – we are all aligned. It's important I make good choices now, not just for six months but for the next two to three years."
