Rangers can now secure transfer of Philippe Clement target before deadline

Philippe Clement can sign one of his targets at Rangers should Ben Davies leave on loan amid Birmingham City links, according to Birmingham Live.

 

The news outlet reported on 23 August that the English club appear to be closing in on signing the 29-year-old on loan until the end of the season.

It’s understood that talks are ongoing between the two sides to arrive at a quick resolution for the centre-back who is on big wags, long before the transfer window shuts. [Sky Sports]

 

Rangers must now bring in a striker or a midfielder

The potential loan departure of Davies to Birmingham could expedite Gers’ efforts to sign a new striker or midfielder.

 

His exit would free up significant wages, providing financial leeway to fund a new signing whose salary demands might have previously been out of reach.

This financial flexibility is crucial in negotiations, allowing Rangers to offer more attractive terms.

 

Davies’ departure reduces the squad’s depth in defence, subtly increasing the urgency to balance the team with additions in other key areas like the midfield or attack, where depth or quality might also be lacking.

Moreover, Clement might use this opportunity to push for a signing he views as pivotal for his tactical setup, arguing that Davies’ exit necessitates not just a replacement but an upgrade or additional firepower elsewhere.

This situation could serve as leverage in discussions with the board or recruitment team, emphasising the need for immediate action to maintain competitive strength across all competitions.
