Rangers handed boost to sign Silas Andersen as sporting director speaks out – ‘We will sell’
Rangers have been given a big indication that BK Hacken will be open to the sale of their young gem, Silas Andersen, this summer.
The Denmark U21s international has been impressing for Hacken in Allsvenskan for over a year now, and looks ready for the next move in his career.
Andersen is a defensive midfielder who has an eye for goal, as well as a forward pass, and is someone who can bring something different to Danny Rohl in the middle of the park.
Andrew Cavenagh has admitted that this summer will be a big one for the Bears, who need to recover and rebuild ahead of another push to win the Scottish Premiership.
New additions will be needed for the squad, and Rangers could be about to land Andersen after the latest comments from Hacken’s sporting director.

Hacken figure ‘can’t promise’ Silas Andersen will stay amid Rangers interest
Rangers may need to pay Hacken a record fee for Andersen, who is one of the Swedish club’s biggest assets.
The 21-year-old has been going from strength to strength in Sweden and has clearly impressed Stig Igne Bjornebye and the rest of Gers’ recruitment team.

Hacken’s sporting director, Erik Friberg, has been open about the future of Andersen, admitting that he may be sold this summer.
Friberg said, as quoted by the Daily Record: “We will sell someone. We will. I can’t promise that Silas will stay. Nothing is clear yet; we’ll see where it goes.”
Gers are interested in the defensive midfielder, with Celtic also tipped to rival the Bears for his signature.
There is also interest from Sporting Lisbon, but these comments may be the green light that the 49ers need to wrap up a deal.
Anderson’s new season with Hacken only kicked off in April, and he may not get the summer break most Gers players are getting, should he sign for the Bears.
How much do Rangers specifically need for Andersen?
Rangers may need to cough up £5.9million for Andersen, a fee that could be well worth it in the context of things.
The youngster has already emerged as one of the best talents in Sweden, and a call-up to Denmark’s senior team may not be far away.
Andersen has experience in the Netherlands with FC Utrecht, and just over 18 months after moving to Sweden, Glasgow could be his next destination.
Gers have already signed Lawrence Shankland, and it appears that Andersen could be next on the agenda.
