Thelo Aasgaard may be on his way to Anderlecht as Rangers get ready for Falkirk on 2 September.

The Norway international is of interest to the Jupiler Pro League club and his exit could be announced imminently.

While Derek McInnes seemed to value the 24-year-old midfielder at the start of the season, his game time has suffered after a poor start to the campaign.

Anderlecht now want to complete a quick-fire deal for Aasgaard from Ibrox.

An official announcement could be made in the coming hours as the Belgian side don't have time to waste.

What Anderlecht have planned for Thelo Aasgaard transfer

Anderlecht are expected to pay £6million for Aasgaard, with the midfielder on the verge of leaving the Gers.

Sacha Tavolieri is now reporting that the Jupiler Pro League club are in talks to secure the former Luton Town player's signature at the last minute.

Anderlecht want to complete the "surprise" deal soon to register Aasgaard on their European list.

The Belgian side have until 10:59pm UK time tonight to submit their squad for the Europa League's league phase.

According to an update from the Rangers Review, the Glaswegian outfit are expected to sanction the midfielder's exit, with a likely initial loan deal.

Why Thelo Aasgaard transfer could be good news for Derek McInnes

Kevin Kelsy seems to be on his way to Rangers, with the Portland Timbers striker seen as a replacement for Youssef Chermiti.

Nicolas Raskin's future is one to keep an eye on in the coming days, with the Belgium international's exit looking inevitable after the end of last season.

However, with the Light Blues deciding to cash in on Aasgaard, they may have plans to keep the former Standard Liege ace for the foreseeable future.

McInnes would certainly be more than happy to see someone like Raskin remain at the Glaswegian outfit for another season.

The Belgian midfielder is part of the Govan side's squad for the trip to Falkirk Stadium.
