Mick McCarthy's star loanee signing at Cardiff City, Harry Wilson, has been tipped to make a move to Scotland this summer.

What's the talk?

That's according to the former Rangers defender Michael Ball, who, speaking recently to This is Futbol, claimed that Steven Gerrard's relationship with the Liverpool winger could see him make a switch from Merseyside to Ibrox in the upcoming transfer market.

He said: "Steven's got that connection with him. He knows of him, so that personal relationship could be a bonus. The money, we're not too sure what they have to spend, so it all depends if any players move out as well at Rangers. If [Alfredo] Morelos moves on, the big money that they'll get would give Rangers the opportunity to bring Harry, and maybe a few others, in."

Tan must move

While Wilson himself has recently spoken out regarding his desire for a shot at first-team football with Liverpool, in addition to the fact that Mick McCarthy has claimed he believes it would be unlikely that the 24-year-old will return to the club this summer, on top of the winger's links with a move to teams such as Rangers, there is no reason why Vincent Tan should not put a considerable amount of effort into bringing the Wales international back to Cardiff ahead of next season.

After making the temporary move to the Bluebirds last October, the £14.4 million-rated man was in exceptional form over his 37 Championship appearances, scoring seven goals, providing 11 assists and creating 11 big chances, as well as averaging a highly impressive SofaScore match rating of 7.20 - ranking him as the club's second-best performer in the second tier.

And, with the £15,000-per-week Welshman's returns helping the Bluebirds to an impressive eighth-place finish in the Championship standings, there would appear no real reason that, with the addition of a couple of new signings in the summer, Wilson could not achieve his ambition of playing at the highest level with Cardiff - albeit after a season in which the winger could prove to be the difference in the club's push for promotion.

As such, Tan should be doing all he can to convince Wilson of a move back to the Cardiff City Stadium this summer, as, if the owner really wishes to see McCarthy guiding his side back to the Premier League, Wilson - whom current Rangers coach Michael Beale dubbed as "outstanding" - would undoubtedly prove a crucial part of the 62-year-old's side.
