Rangers: How Derek McInnes' team could shape up after Vanja Dragojevic and Youssef Chermiti latest

Rangers are closing in on signing Partizan midfielder Vanja Dragojevic as they look to reject offers for Youssef Chermiti.

The Gers are pushing to get a deal over the line for the 20-year-old Serbia international and are confident of getting it done soon.

On the other hand, Olympique Lyon have expressed interest in the Portuguese striker, but he won't be allowed to leave for cheap.

Derek McInnes' team is starting to shape up ahead of next season, with Dragojevic and Chermiti expected to be part of it.

Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises would definitely like to keep their big-name stars while adding quality to the Glaswegian outfit's squad, but there could still be significant departures before the transfer window closes.

The Scottish manager is looking to build a squad capable of winning silverware immediately and he has made five signings so far to help that cause.

Rangers look to get two in and one out of midfield

Apart from Dragojevic, Bologna and Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson is also being heavily linked with a move to the Gers.

According to the Daily Record on 7 July, the Partizan captain is the Govan side's top target and they are determined to make him the latest addition to the squad.

The news outlet reports that the Light Blues are also weighing up a big-money move for Ferguson, who played under McInnes at Aberdeen.

While two more arrivals are planned in the engine room following Dan Neil's signing, Nicolas Raskin could be on his way out in the coming weeks, with the Glaswegian outfit ready to listen to offers for the Belgium international after the World Cup.

Will Youssef Chermiti partner Lawrence Shankland at Ibrox?

As things stand, McInnes wants Chermiti to continue at Rangers this summer, but that could change.

It has been claimed that a huge bid that the Gers can't refuse would lead to the 22-year-old striker's exit this summer.

As things stand, Chermiti looks set to be the striker who will start in McInnes' 4-4-2 formation alongside Lawrence Shankland, while the midfield could see the likes of Dragojevic and Ferguson forming a partnership.

At the back, Ivor Pandur looks like the new number one, with Ross McCrorie set to compete with Dujon Sterling at right-back, with John Souttar, Emmanuel Fernandez and Tuur Rommens completing the defence.
