In early August 2026, English Championship club Burnley expressed interest in signing James Penrice, a 26-year-old left-back playing for AEK Athens. AEK Athens indicated a willingness to sell the defender, who had previously been acquired from Heart of Midlothian for approximately €1.8 million. By mid-August, the situation shifted as AEK Athens reached an agreement with Rangers to loan Penrice. The deal, which includes an option for a permanent purchase, was reportedly motivated by an injury to Rangers defender Thuur Romens. ~~Following~~ On August 15, Rangers FC officially announced the ~~agreement, Penrice was expected to undergo~~ one-year loan signing of the 27-year-old defender following the successful completion of his medical ~~examinations on August 14, leaving~~ examinations.
