Rangers manager Michael Beale has refused to dismiss the possibility of loaning Tom Davies.

Rumors in the media have suggested that Beale wants to bring the Everton youngster to Glasgow on loan.

Beale confirmed to reporters on Friday that Rangers held positive talks with transfer targets, but did not name them.

Davies is 24 and not first choice at Everton under Frank Lampard this term.

Asked about targets, per the Liverpool Echo, Beale said: “No names but I think they are both good players to be fair. Todd [Cantwell] was an excellent player when he was young and playing against my Liverpool Under 23s.

“I thought he would go on and have a fantastic career. He had that at the start and he is maybe just looking for a move to re-ingite it but I think he is a fantastic player at a good age.

“And Tom Davies, he used to kick my Liverpool Under 23s team all around the place. There's a bit of John Lundstram about him. But again, two really good players.

“Not confirming anything with those two. But there's a lot of players we are speaking to at the moment."
