'Replacement for Jack and Davis', 'excites me': Some Rangers fans react to links with midfielder

18A number of Glasgow Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to discuss speculation linking Joey Veerman with a move to Ibrox.

Dutch outlet Voetbal International claims that the 22-year-old is ready to make the step up and Steven Gerrard’s Gers are following him closely.

Rangers aren’t the only club linked with Veerman though – France’s Reims and Italy’s Atalanta are also said to be interested, along with Dutch giants Feyenoord and PSV.

According to the Scottish Sun, meanwhile, Southampton are another club to have expressed an interest in Veerman, who would reportedly cost upwards of £5million.

Veerman has registered nine goals and 10 assists in 32 games in all competitions for Heerenveen, with seven goals and nine assists coming in the Eredivisie.

The Daily Record believes he would bring “loads” to Rangers and adds that he is “getting better with each passing week”.

“His record of eight goals and nine assists would lead you to believe he plays higher up the pitch but he often picks the ball up deep and sprays it about to his team-mates,” they wrote.

“But he’s not content with that as he’s often in the mix in the final third as he looks to get on the end of things and create in and around the box.”

What have Bears made of the speculation? Here’s what some have been saying on social media:

Rumours about Joey Veerman.
He’s worth like £20m minimum. No way can we afford him. Although he would be one hell of a player.
Thoughts?

Dont know about 20m. Heerenveen dont command fees like that. Could see him moving for about 6 or 7m
Well worth a look. Excellent player. CL is a good draw as well as our tradition with Dutch players. But there’s better leagues interested.
Right type of player. See what happens

He’s not worth £20 million mate 😂 he’s valued around £6 – £8 million depending on what source you use. Decent young player, if we can get him at the right price I wouldn’t say no.

Rangers being linked with Joey Veerman excites me greatly. We may struggle to sign him due to the amount, and quality, of other teams interested but he’s now the benchmark. Great to see the club prioritising and willing to spend money on strengthening CM.

In addition, here’s what two neutrals have made of speculation linking Veerman with a move away:

Talking about Frenkie and the natural progression is to mention Joey Veerman. Hopefully destined for a bigger move this summer, an absolute gem. Beautiful style of a midfielder, I’ve warned you on this one.

€12 million for Joey Veerman is an absolute bargain given his potential.
PSV should be going for that but they want a 29-year-old Davy Propper instead.
