He’s spoken very highly about Russell Martin in the pastRANGERS are closing in on a surprise deal for Bournemouth right-back Max Aarons.
The Bournemouth defender, who can also play at left-back, could become Russell Martin’s first signing at Ibrox.The 25-year-old spent the second part of last season on loan at Valencia but only started two games for the La Liga side and is on his way back to the UK.
But he looks set to swap England for Scotland this summer as SunSport understands Rangers have reached a verbal agreement with Bournemouth to sign him on loan.
Martin has been a long-time admirer of the versatile full-back and was reportedly keen on signing him when he was manager of Southampton.The latest development could directly impact skipper James Tavernier who was often ousted last season by Neraysho Kasanwirjo or Dujon Sterling.Aarons played just nine games for the Cherries and Valencia combined last season and is in need of regular first team football to get his career back on track.
