According to a report of Sky Sports NewsThe Rangers approached “Leicester City on the possibility of signing a central defender Conor Coady.
After the relegation of the Foxes to the EFL championshipas indicated by Rob Tanner of athleticsThe Leicester budget was “cut”, seeking to “move in high wages”, and Coady enters this category, in particular with a year to play on its contract.
Coady joined Wolverhampton Wanderers Leicester for a report Fresh of 8.5 million pounds sterling there are two summer, but now 32, could certainly be available at a reduced price.
How Conor Coady would improve the rangers
Leadership is undoubtedly the highest quality of Coady, with Sean Dyche having previously rented His “immaculate” professionalism, something that was seriously missing from Rangers last season, hence the reason why the English international could be an excellent addition both out of the park.

Statistics of the last two seasons have been used for Coady for two reasons, to give it a larger sample size, but also because this year’s data was massively distorted by the fact that it played for a historically terrible team of Leicester.
In addition, the EFL championship, ranked 11th in the world by World football classificationis more comparable to the Scottish Première (43rd) that the Premier League.
This preamble aside, the table shows that the statistics of Coady and Darling are generally similar, with the defender of Leicester in mind for statistics in possession, namely the percentage of completion and the keys.
Then teammate of Wolves Fábio Silva describes the defender As “incredible” and “the best captain” he has ever had, while Adam McNulty of Breaking The Lines praised his reading of the game and the ability to “choose a runner” with his excellent distribution.
In the Premier League season 2019/20Coady has made more precise long passes than anyone in the division, hence the reason why his exceptional skills on the ball would be perfectly integrated into a team from Martin, since the style of the new boss of the Rangers grants possession and control, stressing that it is a signature that the light blues must do everything in their power to finalize.
