Rangers transfer news as John Bennett ready to let cash fly at Ibrox
Rangers chairman John Bennett is ready to let his cash fly at Ibrox, with three-star striker arrivals in talks already, while the loan deal for Abdallah Sima the final non-permanent transfer linked to the Glasgow club.
The loan deal completed for Abdallah Sima may be the final low-cost deal of the transfer window, with no other loan or free deals being linked at this time, while the club eye big names in the striker department who would likely cost upwards of £10million.
Gers have been linked with a number of strikers throughout the transfer window so far, having already completed deals for Sima and Sam Lammers, and could splash the cash as they continue talks with Feyenoord’s Danilo, BA Hacken’s Benie Traore, and Cyriel Dessers who plays for Cremonese.
The willingness of the Rangers ownership to spend money this summer has come alongside a clear awareness that the squad needs to be improved if they wish to challenge their Old Firm rivals for the SPFL title this coming season.
Michael Beale will no doubt be pleased with the level of backing he is receiving, as the squad being assembled will be one he can mould to his own image, and get the best out of each player in his signature style of play.
Deals for any two of Danilo, who Rangers have already had a bid rejected for [Scottish Sun, 27 June], Traore, who would require a historic bid to sign, and Dessers whose price will be upwards of £6.5million, would take Rangers’ spending on strikers alone above £10million this summer.
This show of financial strength behind their manager will give fans plenty of hope entering the new season, with fresh faces and a strong transfer window always the best cure for disappointment after missing out on the league title.
Bennett is now ready to open the chequebook.
