Ironic Premier League transfer hint

Published

on

Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland claimed that a transfer move to Premier League Nottingham Forest in January “was a no on all fronts from the get go”.

The England international hopeful – who could be the first Ibrox player since Paul Gascoigne to be called up to the Three Lions squad – also hinted it’ll take something special to prise him away from Ibrox.

Jack Butland has been a revelation for Rangers since joining the club in the summer with the nine-times capped England star spending the last few years in the Premier League wildnerness.

But as the goalkeeper begins to grow into an important role in the Rangers squad, it’s clear the transfer interest was a non-starter from the off.

Jack Butland on Nottingham Forest transfer interest

Jack Butland was speaking to BBC Sport about reports surrounding potential interest in his services from Nottingham Forest in January.

Whilst there was no mention of the Premier League side specifically, it’s no secret that the City Ground club enquired about the goalkeeper’s services last month.

In stirring comments, Butland claims that he still has too much to do at Rangers and that for the time being at least, there’s nowhere he’d rather be.

“It was a no on all fronts from the get go,” said Butland. “I’m enjoying it,” he said. “There’s too much to achieve, there’s too much left to do.
