Rangers could be set to complete a surprise deadline day signing.

The Gers have certainly had a busy transfer window after bringing in 12 new first-team players.

The latest has seen Minsu Kim come in and make a telling impact in his opening two appearances.

Kevin Kelsy could soon follow him through the door as the new number nine at Ibrox.

That did look likely to be the last piece of business done at Ibrox for the summer, but now a winger target looks set to come in.

Who are Rangers pushing to sign on deadline day?

There is no hiding from the fact that the Light Blues need to improve after a poor start to the campaign.

That is why the transfer window is so important and needs to be capped of in perfect fashion.

McInnes wants to do exactly that by bringing in another wide option.

Chris Jack reported on Thursday that Stuttgart winger Badredine Bouanani is undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Rangers.

The Light Blues are pushing to seal a deal for 21-year-old ahead of the 5pm transfer deadline.

Badredine Bouanani has been directly compared to Eden Hazard

There may be questions over who the Algerian actually is and why the Govan club are bringing him in.

The 21-year-old is coming off the back of a campaign in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart after two years with OGC Nice.

He is a left-footed right-winger and has been directly compared to Chelsea legend Eden Hazard.

Former Lille youth coach Orlando Silvestri once said that Bouanani is the best academy player at the Ligue 1 side since the Belgian and he was bitterly disappointed to lose him to Nice.

Bouanani now looks set to come in at Rangers with the goal of being nearly as good as Hazard was throughout his career.
