Birmingham City-linked defender Harry Darling could have interest outside of the Championship now that Russell Martin has been hired by Rangers.<\/p>\n
Ex-Southampton boss Martin has taken over at Ibrox and has already drawn up a transfer wish-list for sporting director Kevin Thelwell.<\/p>\n
And Darling\u2019s name is on it according to the Daily Record.<\/a> Martin has already signed Darling twice, first for MK Dons before taking him to Swansea City in a \u00a31million deal in 2022.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old centre-back is out of contract at Swansea and a bunch of Championship clubs have been credited with an interest in him.<\/p>\n Wrexham, Stoke City and Norwich City have also been linked with summer moves for Darling in addition to Blues.<\/a><\/p>\n Darling is a Championship-proven centre-back having been an almost ever-present for Swansea in the last two seasons.<\/p>\n Cambridge-born Darling has only missed 15 of Swansea\u2019s 92 Championship matches in the last two campaigns and netted five goals from defence last term.<\/p>\n He came through the ranks at his hometown club Cambridge before moving onto MK Dons and now Swansea who have offered him a contract extension.<\/p>\n Would Darling be a good signing for Blues?
