Rangers chief Ross Wilson holds talks to sign Randers forward Stephen Odey
Rangers and Celtic are reportedly locking horns over another transfer battle as they have enquired over a move for Randers forward Stephen Odey.
According to All Nigeria Soccer, Gers hold the more concrete interest of the two sides and Ross Wilson has already held preliminary talks with the Danish club.
It is understood that they are demanding a fee in the region of £3.4million in order to part ways with the player.
Morelos replacement?
It looks like Rangers have lined up the 24-year-old as a replacement for Alfredo Morelos in case the Colombian leaves this summer.
There still is no clarity over his future, especially due to the fact that Gers like to conduct their contract dealings quietly and have cut down on the leaks recently.
In case he leaves, it seems that Odey will be the player walking through the door and Wilson has already touched base to sign him.
He bagged 13 goals and provided two assists in the 21/22 campaign from 32 appearances – which is not particularly impressive.
The SPFL is arguably a tougher league to play in and he will also need to shine on the European stage with more competitive clubs.
However, if Wilson has entered talks to sign him then the club probably must have scouted him extensively and Giovanni van Bronckhorst too would have given his thumbs up to go ahead with it in case Morelos leaves.
In other Rangers news, contract talks with a key player have hit a new impasse with a summer exit now on the cards.
