A scramble has commenced for the signature of West Brom starlet Rayhaan Tulloch.

The Scottish Sun says Rangers boss Steven Gerrard faces stiff competition from English sides for the 19-year-old forward.

Brighton and West Ham are also keen on Tulloch, whose Hawthorns contract is up next month.

The Baggies have also not given up hope of persuading the academy product to sign a deal.

Tulloch scored nine goals in 14 Premier League 2 appearances for the club last season.

That form saw Slaven Bilic use him as a substitute in FA Cup clashes with West Ham and Newcastle.

And they remain hopeful the prospect of more first-team action will persuade him to stay on.
