Rangers blew Sheffield United out of the water in the race for Tom Lawrence with a bumper offer and the chance of European football, according a report.
The Blades were in the hunt for the former Derby County captain to help them with their English Championship promotion bid but Giovannni van Bronckhorst looks to have won the race with the 28-year-old set to become the third new face to join the squad this summer. And Yorkshire Live say that Lawrence informed Bramall Lane boss and former Hibs gaffer Paul Heckingbottom of his decision to head to Ibrox.
They state: “United were confident they were leading the race and that Lawrence was keen to join. Yet, Rangers' lucrative offer and the chance to play European football saw Lawrence opt for the switch north of the border. There were several Championship clubs in for the 28-year-old, including Watford, but Lawrence had chosen United over those.
