Liverpool Close On Deal To Sign Rangers Defender Danny Wilson


Liverpool are closing in on a £2.5million deal for Danny Wilson - and his Rangers defensive partner Madjid Bougherra hopes to follow him to Anfield

Wilson, 18, has only one year remaining on his contract with the Scottish Premier League champions. Rangers boss Walter Smith has admitted defeat in getting the centre-back to put pen to paper and has sanctioned his sale which will go through in June, The Liverpool Echo has reported.

Wilson has enjoyed a breakthrough season and recently claimed both the Scottish Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' Association Young Player awards.

Bougherra enjoyed a spell in the Premier League with Charlton Athletic and has targeted Liverpool as the outfit he wants to return to. He is currently training with Algeria's World Cup squad in Switzerland.

His agent Farid Raayad claims Liverpool have expressed an interest in his services.

Bougherra added: “If a big team comes in and Rangers accept an offer for me that is destiny."
