Rangers make first bid to sign Fares Ghedjemis as 'crazy' latest shared from Italy
Rangers have made their approach for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis.
The Ibrox side and Glasgow rivals Celtic are chasing the 23-year-old, and Derek McInnes' side have entered the race with a bid.
They are desperate for a creative spark after the 1-1 draw with Dundee United in their Scottish Premiership opener.
The Gers have already reached an agreement for Daisuke Yokota from Hannover 96.
However, it appears that they are not done there, as they have now made their move for the Algerian after the Japanese ace.
The Italian side have already reacted to the offer.
What is the latest in Rangers' pursuit of Fares Ghedjemis?
Rangers have solidified their interest after Celtic already had a bid rejected by the Serie A side.
Sky Sports' Luca Bendoni reported on Tuesday that the Light Blues had made an £8million bid for the winger
His report stated that the Italians are strong in their stance, they want to keep him around.
It is understood that a "crazy" offer could change their mind.
What does Ghedjemis interest mean for Rangers' other wingers?
The bid for Ghedjemis likely pushes several players down in the pecking order, including Djeidi Gassama and Findlay Curtis.
The left-footed star is primarily a right-winger and his numbers suggest that he would start in Govan.
He notched 15 goals and three assists in Serie B last season, averaging 3.16 shots and 1.64 chances created per 90 minute, according to Fotmob data.
That is day and night to Gassama and Curtis' numbers, as they managed nine goals and six assists between them last season.
The former averaged 2.52 shots and 1.48 chances created per game, while the former had 3.62 and 1.42.
The underlying numbers are quite similar, but Ghedjemis looks like he is much more composed when it matters, which makes perfect sense as to why McInnes' side want to sign him.
He is a clear upgrade on what they have at their disposal right now, and could be the difference between the title and winning nothing at the end of the season
The 49ers Enterprises group and Andrew Cavenagh have been scrutinised for their business so far after the poor result last time out and this would get the fanbase back onside.
