Ross Barkley 'attendance record' sparks Rangers transfer fear as race for Chelsea free agent escalates

Craig Moore reckons Rangers could land a special signing if they move for free agent Ross Barkley.

The former Everton midfielder negotiated his release from Chelsea earlier today after being frozen out under Thomas Tuchel. They paid £15million to land him in January 2018 but he's struggled to make a splash at Stamford Bridge, spending the 2020/21 season at Aston Villa and managing just 400 minutes of football during the last campaign.

He was released by the Blues with a year to run on his contract and, now 28, he goes in search of a new club to revive his career. Rangers have been tipped as a potential destination as Gio van Bronckhorst looks to add some Champions League quality to his ranks, and they could be one option on the table - although he's likely to have several offers closer to home in the Premier League. Former Rangers defender Moore said on Go Radio: "He's only 28 years of age. Let's not forget it was only four years ago he got a move from Everton to Chelsea off the back of incredible performances at Everton.
