Rangers goalkeeper Rydnn McGuire is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs.

He has been an impressive performer for the under-19 side managed by Liam Ross and has just 18 months left on his current contract at Ibrox.

He has caught the attention of top-flight clubs, with Arsenal and Everton showing interest as far back as May, as per the Rangers Review.

At that time, a bid worth more than £1 million from Everton was rejected.

It is understood that Rangers were keen to keep hold of one of their most promising academy prospects.

However, now entering the final 18 months of his deal, McGuire is back on the radar of clubs south of the border.

Having captained the under-19 side in their recent CAS Elite League draw with Hearts, the young goalkeeper is believed to have been monitored by a number of clubs once again.

Everton, long-term admirers, remain interested but face tough competition from Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford, and Bournemouth.

Former Rangers coach Colin Stewart, now with Liverpool, is also thought to hold a keen interest in McGuire.

Rangers are believed to have been approached regarding a potential transfer fee as clubs keep a close eye on the situation ahead of the summer window.

Talks regarding his future with Rangers are expected to take place in the coming weeks.

As a boyhood Rangers fan, McGuire will be keenly looking for a clear pathway to the number one jersey at the club.

Should he leave Rangers as a free agent, the club will only receive a nominal development fee.

The interest in McGuire comes as part of the club's wider efforts to retain their most promising young players.

Fellow academy prospects Kyle Glasgow, Ashton Scally, and Aiden Crilly have all attracted interest from clubs in England.

Glasgow, 15, has already decided to commit his long-term future to Rangers despite the interest, and it is understood that the deal will be finalised in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Scally has drawn attention from Chelsea, Fulham, and Crystal Palace, and Crilly has also impressed clubs south of the border.

Rangers will be keen to cement the futures of as many of their young stars as possible.
