Todd Cantwell is set to leave Rangers after Phillippe Clement confirmed he’s handed in a transfer request and will be training with the B team whilst he tries to find a new club. Speaking after Rangers’ 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City, Clement stunned the room with the news that the midfielder wants to depart the Ibrox club: 

"Todd Cantwell came to my office a while ago. We have a really good relationship and we talked a long time about that. He came a while ago to say he feels ready for another adventure, that he wants another challenge. I spoke long with him because I think Rangers is a really good club for him.I wanted to give him time also, so that's why the last couple of weeks I didn't speak about it. But he came back with the same request. So I'm going to be focused on the next couple of weeks on guys who are with their heads with Rangers.”

Cantwell signed for Rangers from Norwich City for a fee of £1.5 million in the 2023 January transfer window and he instantly became a fan favourite amongst the Ibrox faithful as they were impressed with his effort, flair and passion that he showed on the pitch.

The Dereham-born playmaker was never shy in giving his opinion, as he had a public feud with Chris Sutton where he called the pundit an “attention seeker.” The former Celtic striker used to praise Cantwell when he was at Norwich but after he signed for the Hoops’ arch-rivals - he changed his tune.
