Tom Lawrence, former Derby County captain, is at the center of a triple transfer link as he approaches the end of his contract with Rangers. The 30-year-old Welsh international has attracted interest from several clubs, including Besiktas, Ipswich Town, and Sheffield United.
1. Besiktas Interest
Turkish club Besiktas has shown interest in signing Lawrence. Reports suggest that Besiktas is looking at Lawrence as a potential addition to their squad. With his contract nearing its end, Lawrence could be available on a free transfer, making him an attractive option for the Turkish side. Additionally, there is speculation that former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might join Besiktas, which could influence Lawrence’s decision, as he previously worked with Solskjaer at Manchester United.
2. Ipswich Town’s Interest
Ipswich Town, where Lawrence had a successful loan spell earlier in his career, is reportedly interested in bringing him back. The club is aiming to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season, and Lawrence’s experience and previous success at Ipswich make him a valuable target.
3. Sheffield United’s Pursuit
Sheffield United is also among the clubs linked with Lawrence. The Championship side is looking to bolster its attacking options, and Lawrence’s versatility and experience make him an appealing prospect. Reports suggest that Sheffield United is actively pursuing a deal for the Welsh forward.
Potential Derby County Reunion
While not one of the current suitors, a potential reunion with Derby County has been speculated. Given his history with the club and the possibility of a free transfer, a return to Pride Park could be an option for Lawrence. However, no official discussions have been reported at this time.
Tom Lawrence’s future remains uncertain as he approaches the end of his contract with Rangers. With interest from Besiktas, Ipswich Town, and Sheffield United, Lawrence has several options to consider. His next move will likely depend on various factors, including contract terms, managerial influences, and personal preferences.
