Rangers are keen on signing Norwich City’s Kenny McLean to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The 32-year-old midfielder joined Norwich in 2018 and has made over 200 appearances, helping the team achieve two promotions and serving as captain.
Last season, under David Wagner, McLean was pivotal, playing every game as Norwich reached the play-offs, although they were defeated by Leeds United in the semi-final.

### Rangers Eyeing Kenny McLean
According to the Daily Record, Rangers are interested in signing McLean, with manager Phillipe Clement looking to enhance his midfield options. However, securing McLean might be challenging, as he has two years left on his contract with Norwich, who can extend it by another year. McLean would also require a long-term contract to move to Ibrox.
Since Norwich’s play-off defeat, the team has undergone changes, including the appointment of Johannes Hoff Thorup as the new head coach. It remains uncertain what role Thorup envisions for McLean.
### Kenny McLean’s Rangers Connection
A move to Rangers would likely appeal to McLean, a lifelong Rangers fan from Glasgow. He previously expressed interest in joining Rangers in a 2021 interview, a dream that presumably still holds.
### European Football Opportunity
Rangers, having finished second to Celtic last season, can offer European football, potentially in the Champions League.
### Norwich City’s Future Plans
As Thorup prepares for the new season, he will need time to evaluate his squad. McLean’s experience and influence make him a valuable asset, and he demonstrated last season that he still contributes significantly on the field.
