Rangers FC transfer news: Steven Gerrard eyeing Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa and urged to sign Ashley Cole

The Liverpool legend had his eye on the 23-year-old right-back during the summer

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is poised to reignite his interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa in January.

Gerrard had been keen to take the full-back to Ibrox in the summer after taking the reigns.

He failed to get his man, but is now ready to make a fresh move for the former England Under-21 international, who is valued at around £500,000.

With second-place Rangers pushing Celtic in the SPL and on the verge of reaching the last 32 in the Europa League, Gerrard is keen to add competition to his squad heading into the second half of the season.

Despite being included in Wolves' official Premier League squad list following their promotion from the Championship, Iorfa is yet to feature in Nuno Espirito Santo's first-team this term.

He has not played for Wolves since May 2017 and spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town.

Another defender linked with a move to Ibrox is Gerrard's former England team-mate Ashley Cole, who was released after two years at MLS side LA Galaxy.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes Gerrard should consider Cole as an option.

“I’m sure there’ll be lots of clubs interested. Stevie G is a great shout at Rangers," Parlour said speaking on Sky Sports' The Debate.

“I don’t know who their left-back is at the moment but he would be great for the dressing room area.

“He’s had a fantastic career and I think that he can do a job definitely for another season.

“I’m not too sure about the Premier League, I’m not sure someone would take a chance on him in the Premier League, certainly the Championship.”
