Glasgow Rangers are still in the mix to complete the signing of an impressive attacking player this summer, according to a fresh Ibrox transfer claim.
Rangers preparing for Champions League clash
The Gers face an important game on Wednesday evening, taking on Panathinaikos in their Champions League qualifier, taking a 2-0 lead with them to Greece from the first leg at Ibrox.
The importance of Rangers making it into the Champions League group stage cannot be understated, with playing in Europe’s biggest club competition increasing their chances of signing top-quality players this summer.
Gers manager Russell Martin will know what a huge boost reaching the competition would be so early on in his tenure, but he has demanded more from his players after the 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough in a pre-season friendly.
“It can’t be a problem for us that, whenever you step on the pitch for this club and this team, you have to be all in, you have to be. There were some good moments in the first half, but you know, I think the thing to take is, when you’re not playing or not in the starting 11 right now – and, by the way, at the start of a very, very long season – we are gonna need everyone.”
It will be intriguing to see who Rangers sign between now and the end of the transfer window, but with Hamza Igamane potentially moving on, a new striker may be at the top of the list, with young Tottenham winger Mikey Moore set to come in on loan and a deal agreed with Go Ahead Eagles to sign winger Oliver Antman.
Rangers eyeing move for £7m ace
According to Germanijak [via Sport Witness], Rangers are still in the race to sign Westerlo forward Matija Frigan this summer, having been linked with him in the past, with one report claiming he is keen on moving to Ibrox.
While Spanish side Elche CF are confident of signing the 22-year-old for £5m, the report states that Westerlo are holding out for £7m instead, which they may not be able to afford. That could allow the Gers to jump and swoop for him.
Frigan stands out as a good option for Rangers, not least because he is still only 22 years of age, with his best years very much ahead of him.

He has been capped 15 times by Croatia at Under-21 level, scoring twice for them, as well as netting a combined seven times for the Under-18s and Under-19s.
For Westerlo, Frigan has scored 20 goals in 73 outings, which is a strong return, and while he is a centre forward by trade, he can also do a job out wide and in an attacking midfield role.

It remains to be seen if Rangers will table an offer for him this summer, but if they see him as a strong Igamane replacement, they should stump up the £7m and potentially pip Elche to his signature.
