The 25-year-old, who relocated from Hibs to Vicarage Road two years ago, isn’t enjoying living there.
Amidst circulating rumors of Rangers’ interest, Ryan Porteous apparently wants to leave Watford just two years after joining the English Championship team.
With Philippe Clement injured and down to the bare bones in the middle of his rearguard, the Light Blues are in dire need of center defensive reinforcements. According to a source from the continent, Hull City has made an offer for the Scotland goalkeeper, who is reportedly halfway through his four-year contract with the Hornets.
Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard scolded Porteous for a challenge on Joe Aribo that resulted in his red card during a match. Shortly after the England and Liverpool icon left the Light Blues, Hibs defeated Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final, and the defender then made fun of Gerrard.
Gerrard had stated in an interview just prior to departing Rangers for Aston Villa: “Do I look happy? Do I appear calm? Then don’t ask me dumb questions.
And after Hibs’ victory at Hampden, Porteous joked to Emma Dodds, the same reporter, “Do we look happy? So don’t ask dumb questions.
Rangers have been forced to use Dujon Sterling as a makeshift center half due to injuries to John Souttar and Leon Balogun. Sterling also hobbled off against Hibs on Sunday, and Leon King, who made his season debut, took his place.
“He lacks the appreciation of coach Tom Cleverley, who left him on the bench for the full 90 minutes of last weekend’s home league match against Sheffield Tom Cleverley,” according to the report claiming Porteous is looking to leave Watford. “Hull City are putting out feelers for Porteous,” the report adds.
