Rangers eye starlet Murphy

A TALENTED striker on Arsenal’s books, who has declared for the Republic of Ireland, is attracting strong interest from Glasgow Rangers.

Rhys Murphy, 20, has already been training with the Ibrox club and recently played in a trial game against Hamilton.

West Sussex-born Murphy, whose grandfather hails from Dublin, has been capped by England at youth level but he has declared for the Republic, with sources saying the processing of his application by the FAI is well advanced.
