Oliver Antman twist emerges after update from sources on Rangers agreement
Rangers could potentially be affected in their pursuit of Go Ahead Eagles forward Oliver Antman this transfer window.
The 23-year-old is attracting interest from the Gers after an impressive season with the Eredivisie outfit, where he provided 15 league assists.
Go Ahead Eagles want more than £5million from Antman, with the Gers poised to make a move for him.
It had been reported that a deal for the Finland international had been agreed at Ibrox, but a twist has emerged in the tale.
Rangers transfer agreement with Go Ahead Eagles for Antman denied
Sources in Deventer are denying an agreement between the Gers and Go Ahead Eagles for Antman, according to Voetbal International.
The news outlet reports (28 July) that talks of an official bid being made to the Eredivisie outfit for the 23-year-old from Ibrox have been dismissed.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Eredivisie | 32 | 6 | 15 |
It’s been claimed that while the Dutch club are aware of the Light Blues’ interest in the Finnish forward, they are yet to receive an offer for him.
Go Ahead Eagles anticipate Antman’s departure this summer, but it remains to be seen whether the Glaswegian outfit make an approach anytime soon.
Kevin Thelwell looking at several attacking targets at Ibrox
Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore is the latest name being linked with a move to Ibrox, with the Gers favourites to sign him.
The Light Blues signed Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday earlier this transfer window, but have been looking to bolster their attack further.
Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is another player Kevin Thelwell is monitoring, and his situation is one to keep an eye on.
Rangers showed promise in their first competitive game under Russell Martin against Panathinaikos in the Champions League.
Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe, who were present in the stands at Ibrox during the 2-0 win on 22 July, will definitely have been encouraged by the display.
The US consortium will certainly have big hopes for the Gers, and they have backed the Scottish manager so far to help him succeed.
