Breaking News:Rangers expect to do business on Transfer Deadline Day, Philippe Clement to sign at least 3
Rangers are expected to be busy on Transfer Deadline Day and are expected to make three or more signings, according to Gary Morris.
The 4th Official’s YouTube host indicated on 29 August he had heard the prospect of a host of new arrivals coming in before the deadline at 11pm on 30 August.
With Ben Davies’ loan to Birmingham already sealed it is expected that a central defender will be signed to replace him [Chris Jack, 27 August], with Morris adding that a midfielder and potentially another winger could also come in.
He said (1m 55s): “Certainly of indications coming from the club is that Rangers are expecting to do business over the next 24 hours in terms of incomings.
“What I’m hearing is there will be at least three coming in the door before tomorrow night.”
Rangers to replace Ben Davies after Birmingham loan
Robin Propper’s injury so soon after arriving this summer has reinforced how Philippe Clement can’t risk leaving himself short of cover at the back, following a first campaign at Ibrox where his centre-backs were regularly unavailable.
There appears to be a clear interest in signing a third winger of the summer window, after Vaclav Cerny and Oscar Cortes, on much the same basis after the Colombian was ruled out following the first game of the season at Hearts, amid interest in Egyptian international Ibrahim Adel [Daily Record, 27 August].
Clement has been after another central midfielder for weeks despite the Connor Barron’s arrival after leaving Aberdeen, with links to the likes of Norwich’s Kenny McLean, Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri, and Sevilla’s Joan Jordan all ending in disappointment.
But despite much of the speculation heading into the window focusing on how the Light Blues would upgrade on Cyriel Dessers at striker it is now not expected that another number nine will come in [The Rangers Review, 27 August].
In a major turnaround the club instead find themselves relying heavily on the Nigerian, who has five goals already this term, with Danilo half-fit and Hamza Igamane yet to feature.
