Rangers were secured as the ideal transfer goal for Aaron Ramsdale in front of a potential summer output made of Southampton.
Darksports Darren Bent welcomed the idea of such a step, but also believes that the goalkeeper is worthy of a Premier League stay.
Talk sport understands that Southampton Ramsdale is loaned this summer.
The 27-year-old is the highest earner for £ 100,000 a week at Saints, who had relegated to the championship in April.
Galatasaray and Rangers are interested in the English international, and Bent believes that one of the clubs could be worth it for him.
“When he goes here and goes to one of these two clubs … I mean, Galatasaray, with her fan base, he doesn’t get away there,” said the striker of the ex-premier League on Drive.
“And even Rangers, her fans, I remember that I had a conversation with a conversation [Jermain] Defoe about how important it is up there and plays for this football club.
“But he has to play again now, again at the top level of football.”
The host Andy Goldstein then asked him: “Is it a waste, a player like this at such a young age when you go to Rangers?”
“No, because it is a huge football club,” insisted Bent, before adding: “What he doesn’t want to do is to go on a page that could go back, he doesn’t want to …
“Going to Rangers would be incredible for him what a step for him would be.”
Bent also revealed his admiration for Ramsdale when he said: “I like Rambo. Good goalkeeper was a bit unhappy, certainly with …

“The situation of Arsenal was painful because he really came out of the blue when they paid the 24 million pounds, I believe that it lifted the eyebrows and went: ‘What?’
“He came in and he was exceptional in this first season. He was to the end when David Raya came in [Carlos] Alcaraz and he scored.
“People always seem to remember it, but if they remember some of the parades he made for Arsenal when he went to Angend, Arsenal put on 2-2 and hung on one point. [Mohamed] Salah.
“Then, Leicester, from the free kick and then also from the rebound, I think he is a goalkeeper of high quality. Yes, unfortunately he has the relegation lawyers on his curriculum vitae, but I still think that he can play in the Premier League week after week.
“I would not say that he is with the best of the best up there, but there is no way on the planet that you can tell me every single team in the Premier League that he cannot do a job.”
Ramsdale started his career at Sheffield United before taking a permanent step after Bournemouth in 2017.

In a loan magic in Chesterfield, she descended from the second division, although he helped a year later in the league in the league in the league.
The goalkeeper then gave his Premier League debut for the cherries 2019/20 in the 2019/20 season, but they were relegated to the championship.
Ramsdale returned to Sheffield United the following summer to face a second descent in a row.
Nevertheless, Arsenal signed him in August 2021 and he did 34 league appearances in his debut campaign.
Another 38 excursions of the Premier League followed when the Gunners took second place behind 2022/23 Champions Manchester City.
David Raya from Brentford’s loan was limited to Ramsdale to just 11 further appearances in all competitions.
Ramsdale completed a permanent exit from Arsenal last summer by coming to Southampton in a deal of £ 25 million.
However, he conceded 66 goals in 30 league games when the Saints ended the rock floor of the Premier League with only 12 won points.
One step after Rangers would probably see that Ramsdale with Jack Butland compete for the starting place at Ibrox.
Butland was 44 appearances for the GERS in all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign and kept 14 clean sheets.
In addition, Ramsdale would reunite himself with Russell Martin, his former Southampton boss, who is now head coach with Rangers.
