Manager is praying Rangers don’t sign his 8-goal striker as contract runs down

Rangers are reportedly keeping an eye on a player who is creating a name for himself at Ashton Gate for the third time in as many months. However, the Tommy Conway chatter is only getting started after connections with Sam Bell and Zak Vyner stopped.According to Peter O’Rourke of Football Insider, Rangers have traded for a striker who scored the game’s lone goal when Bristol City defeated West Ham United in this week’s FA Cup third-round replay, along with a number of Premier League teams. The striker is an Old Firm adversary of Celtic.

He is undoubtedly a finisher. A goal scorer by nature, if you will.

Conway, who is still just 21 years old, made a big impression last season with nine goals despite missing a large portion of the season due to injury. That well-executed victory against West Ham was his seventh of 2023–2024.

After losing players like Antoine Semenyo, Alex Scott, Adam Webster, and others in recent transfer windows, Bristol City supporters may be afraid of losing another exciting young talent when his contract expires in just over a year due to rumors of interest from both sides of the border.Conway’s Ashton Gate teammate, left-back Cameron Pring, is also a target for Rangers.

With the trade “completed,” Rangers suitors reportedly improve their January coffers by £4.7 million and £6 million.

Bristol World is informed by Robins coach Liam Manning that “we really want him to stay.” I believe he’s in a very nice place. You can see how many games he has begun since I arrived. Despite a tricky situation, we have persisted with him.

“I believe he perceives the culture. The important thing is that he understands how we operate. He’s someone we want to maintain at the club because we want individuals who are on board with our goals.

Comparable to Jamie Vardy
Conway, who was born in England but has caps for Scotland’s under-21 team, was compared to Jamie Vardy by former Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson because of his tendency to make just the right moves in behind the defense.

Meanwhile, Manning believes the young player has just added another skill to his repertoire, with Conway showing significant growth in both his off-the-ball work and his front-runner pressuring.
The former Oxford manager continues, “I think that our front players being our first defenders is probably the biggest part of his game that’s improved.” We work a lot on their forms and postures; often, these are their second responses; thus, after you respond and then go on to engage, it’s about regaining your place.

“He did a great job and picked it up quickly.” When we watch the (West Ham) game again, there are a lot of instances when he almost gets away with hiking something or makes the goalie kick long, as opposed to when we first arrived, when he simply pursued everything.

“He knows when to pursue and uses his energy more effectively.”

Rangers had already strengthened their front line by bringing in Wolves’ Fabio Silva on loan. The club has also received a bid for Emmanuel Dennis, the £20 million forgotten man of Nottingham Forest who played for Club Brugge in Belgium under Philippe Clement.
