Celtic eye move for £5m player Rangers wanted to sign last summer - report

Celtic want to sign 2023 Rangers summer target Auston Trusty back when he was at Arsenal before moving to Sheffield United, according to the Scottish Sun.

The news outlet reported that the 26-year-old, who moved to the Blades for £5million, 12 months ago could now be on his way to Scotland.

With the Blades getting relegated from the Premier League, the United States centre-back could once again be on his way out.

Rangers must re-enter the race to sign Auston Trusty

Gers should re-enter the race for Trusty because his experience in English football, both in the Championship and the Premier League, would bring defensive stability and tactical flexibility to their backline, particularly with his ability to play as a left-footed centre-back or left-back.

His market value, demonstrated by his £5million transfer, suggests he’s a player with significant potential at the age of 26, ideal for a team looking to build for the future.

Trusty’s international experience with the USMNT could prove invaluable in European competitions, offering a different tactical perspective.

Moreover, with Celtic also eyeing him, signing Trusty could prevent a direct rival from strengthening, while his proven quality means he could make an immediate impact in the Scottish Premiership, potentially becoming a key player in crucial matches.

He’s also capable of filling in at full-back and that versatility is something that Philippe Clement would appreciate and could urge the board to pursue his services.

In other Rangers news, Gers can now seal a new multi-million transfer at a discounted price.
