Rangers scouts assessed Motherwell’s Lennon Miller during his first pre-season match last weekend, where the 17-year-old contributed to a 2-1 victory over Livingston. With an impressive breakout season last year, including 32 appearances and notable performances against Celtic, Miller has caught the attention of the Ibrox club. Manager Philippe Clement is focused on revamping the squad, having already signed several new players for the upcoming season. A potential move for Miller fits Rangers’ strategy of acquiring young talent to develop and sell for a profit. Miller is contracted with Motherwell until 2026, giving the club a strong position in any negotiations.

A highly-regarded young talent has been given the opportunity to trial at Sunderland’s Academy of Light. Goalkeeper Robert Cook has joined Sunderland and is currently undergoing a trial at their academy, as reported by The Echo. Following the departures of Alex Bass to Notts County and Nathan Bishop to Wycombe Wanderers, Sunderland signed Simon Moore to provide cover and competition for Anthony Patterson. During a training session at the Academy of Light, Patterson and Moore were joined by England youth international Matty Young. Young is expected to participate in the pre-season before going out on loan again next season. The academy also includes Adam Richardson, Dan Cameron, and Kelechi Chibueze. Recently, Cook was invited to train at the Academy of Light, working alongside Cameron, Chibueze, and under-18 goalkeeper Ben Metcalf. It is anticipated that the 17-year-old Cook will trial with other clubs over the summer, including Manchester United, before making a decision about his future.
