Rangers are set to cash in on Oliver Antman after agreeing a deal with Anderlecht.

The Finland international has attracted interest from several teams this transfer window, but the Jupiler Pro League club have won the race for him.

Last season, the 24-year-old was a bit-part player under Danny Rohl and doesn't seem to have a role under Derek McInnes.

With the Ibrox hierarchy looking to strengthen their wide areas, they've decided to accept an offer for Antman.

As things stand, the ex-Hearts boss already lacks options on the wings and the Finnish attacker's exit will surely open the doors for new arrivals in the area.

It will be interesting to see who the Glaswegian outfit will end up signing to reinforce the position, as the former Go Ahead Eagles ace prepares to leave Govan after 12 months.

How much profit Rangers will make from Oliver Antman deal

Ibrox News have covered claims that Antman could leave Rangers this summer as they look to sign new wingers.

The Gers signed the forward for £3.5million last summer, but McInnes made an early decision that he wouldn't be a part of his plans.

According to The Scottish Sun on 28 July, the Glaswegian outfit have sanctioned his sale for £4.5m after a "shock" move from Anderlecht.

The Finland international will undergo a medical in the coming 24 hours to finalise a move to the Belgian side.

This comes after McInnes effectively signed off on the exit, as he knew early on Antman was not part of his plans.

With the Govan side making a £1m profit on Antman, they're set to reinvest funds into their squad.

Who will replace Oliver Antman at Ibrox?

Rangers are pursuing Amario Cozier-Duberry and Jahnoah Markelo, who play for Brighton and Hove Albion and Coventry City, respectively.

The English youngster and the Suriname international are both left-footed and the Gers may be looking to add both to the squad for next season.

Antman has mostly played on the right-wing for the Glaswegian outfit and Cozier-Duberry and Markelo could potentially replace him now.

The Govan side's willingness to do business for the Finnish ace surely suggests they already have a deal over the line to bolster the wide areas and it will be one to keep an eye on.
