According to Fabrizio Romano Leon King is on ‘the list of many top Premier League clubs’.
What sort of list the latest Murray Park starlet is on isn’t made clear, after Ajax’s unfortunate experience of Calvin Bassey the list could be the one that reads AVOID, AVOID, AVOID..
As is usual with anyone emerging from the Murray Park conveyor belt the hype far outstrips the ability of achievements. Not too long ago Young Ross McCrorie was getting a similar level of attention.
With John Souttar and Ben Davies joining Filip Helander in the treatment room young King has been forced into first team action. Since Connor Goldson picked up an injury King has found himself playing alongside James Sands in the centre of defence.
That combination earned the Ibrox side a place in the Champions League record books with Giovanni van Bronckhorst sacked soon after that campaign conclude.
Important update for Rangers FC. Been told Leon King has agreed new contract valid until June 2026, here we go ??? #RangersFC

Romano is acknowledged as the Twitter guru of transfer speculation, he does have a very high strike rate but not 100%. The smart money is on King ending up at Hearts or Aberdeen in the next couple of years as he attempts to get over a Champions League record of 2-22 resulting in six defeats and zero points.
Transfer guru? I’d put more faith in “The Guru”, thon Mike Myers film from a few years back…and that was pish!
I read that they got wind of the scoop story ‘according to a report ,’ in other words second hand news !
