Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Joe Rothwell from Bournemouth, according to reports.
The 30-year-old midfielder spent last season on loan at Leeds from the Cherries, helping the Elland Road club – whose chairman Paraag Marathe is now also Rangers vice-chairman – to promotion to the Premier League.
He also spent six months on loan at Southampton the previous season in the Championship under new Gers boss Russell Martin.
Rothwell, who played up to Under-20 level with England, came through the ranks at Manchester United before moving to Oxford in 2016, following loan spells at Blackpool and Barnsley.
He then spent four years with Blackburn Rovers from 2018 to 2022 before signing for Bournemouth, which preceded winning promotion with both Southampton and Leeds in back-to-back loan spells.
Martin has already signed right-back Max Aarons on loan from Bournemouth while midfielder Lyall Cameron had signed a pre-contract from Dundee in January.
