Teenage striker Rory Wilson has revealed he's left Rangers as Aston Villa emerge as favourites to sign him.
The Scotland U-17 striker wants to move to England and has been strongly linked with a move to Premier League side Villa, managed by former Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard.
Wilson, 16, scored for his country in the youth Euros in Israel against Denmark, taking his season's tally to 49 after a prolific season in the Rangers academy.
But he's now confirmed he wants to look for a different challenge south of the border.
He said: "Rangers have been brilliant for me. There's no getting away from that.
"But it's time to move on and get to the next level.
"I'd like to thank Rangers for everything they have done for me because it's been great for me over the last eight years, but it's time to leave.
"I'll probably be going down south.
"We'll wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Everything will be sorted very soon.
"At Rangers, all the coaches have been fantastic for me. I can't thank them enough for all their help.
"I want to go down south and try and prove myself and become a top player and that's what I am going to do."
Wilson started all three games as Brian McLaughlin's side went out of the tournament after three defeats to Portugal, Denmark and Sweden.
McLaughlin labelled him as 'one of the best young strikers in Europe' before the tournament and he certainly did his reputation no harm.
And Wilson, who has now scored seven goals for Scotland Under 17s in nine appearances, insisted he loved playing in the European Championships.
He said: "The tournament was a great experience for me. Obviously, we didn't get the results we wanted, but to play against some of the best young players in Europe was great for me.
"I'll take a lot from it.
"The goal I scored against Denmark was my 49th of the season and I would have loved to have scored my 50th against Sweden, but it just wasn't to be.
"I'll have a break and get ready for next season now.
"I've really enjoyed my season. I've loved playing every minute of it. The season was great for me personally and to score that amount of goals was an extra bonus for me."
