Brighton Ready Offer for Rangers Captain James Tavernier Amid Newcastle & Aston Villa Interest

Exclusive - Brighton and Hove Albion are set to test Rangers’ resolve over captain James Tavernier with a formal approach this summer.

With fan favourite Bruno retiring at the end of last season and returning loanee Ezequiel Schelotto recovering from a serious knee injury, the Seagulls find themselves on the lookout for defensive reinforcements.

As it stands, Martin Montoya is Brighton's only available right-back, and 90min has learned that Graham Potter is eager to bolster his defence with a move for Tavernier.

The manager is a huge fan of the former Newcastle United full-back, who has been brilliant for Rangers since moving to Ibrox in 2015.
