Rangers are looking to raid Sheffield Wednesday amid their financial issues, with Josh Windass being considered at Ibrox.

Russell Martin could soon have Djeidi Gassama at his disposal as the Gers are close to completing a deal with the Owls for the forward.

Windass spent around two years at the Light Blues before moving to Wigan Athletic, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to Glasgow.

LOSC Lille want Hamza Igamane from the Bears, while Cyriel Dessers is also attracting interest from AEK Athens, making the addition of a new number nine arguably a priority in G51.

Windass transfer considered by Rangers as Sheffield Wednesday need funds

Windass is on the Gers' radar this summer as Sheffield Wednesday are in dire need of funds, according to The Star.

The news outlet reports (9 July) that the Light Blues are considering the 31-year-old's return to Ibrox this summer, with Gassama expected to sign.

Windass' Championship record last season.

It's been claimed that the English attacker has admirers in the Scottish Premiership, EFL Championship and in Germany.

The versatile veteran who can play in multiple positions in the midfield and forward line recently extended his contract with the Owls until June 2026.

Martin needs Windass transfer at Ibrox this summer

Vaclav Cerny's exit has left a massive void at Ibrox that undoubtedly needs to be filled after his impressive contributions last season.

The Gers have also lost Ianis Hagi after his contract expired, and fans won't be pleased to see Oscar Cortes and Rabbi Matondo as their attacking options for next season.

Como forward Alieu Fadera is on the Glaswegian outfit's radar as they look to bolster their squad ahead of next season.

Rangers could potentially lose a majority of their leading goalscorers from last season if Igamane and Dessers also leave.

Windass feels like a decent option for the Gers to pursue, and while fans might be worried about his age, the 31-year-old scored the most goals for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship last season.

The Englishman's future will be one to keep an eye on as the Owls go through financial turmoil.
