Reliable reporter Jonny McFarlane has dropped a vital update on Rangers' links to a free agent move in the summer transfer window.

Rangers transfer news

A busy summer at Ibrox threatens to be more productive in the coming weeks, as Philippe Clement looks to add more players to an already impressive squad.

Marco van Ginkel has recently been linked with a summer move to Rangers, with the Chelsea midfielder now a free agent after leaving Vitesse Arnhem at the end of last season. In recent days it has been reported that Clement and his recruitment director Nils Koppen have been working hard to reach an agreement before the deadline to move teams to play in the Champions League.

It is believed that the Gers want to attack Bristol City, Tommy Conway, and this striker may appear to fill the place of Kemar Roofe, who left when his contract expired in the big teams of the Scottish Premiership earlier this summer. The former scored 10 goals in the Championship last season.

Rangers are keen to secure the services of Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri, and the Tunisian doesn't look to be a key part of Erik ten Hag's plans at the moment. The 21-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at Birmingham City, where manager John Eustace praised him, saying: “The way he played in the last few games was very good. He broke records for total distance [covered]all such things.”

Taking it to XMcFarlane has said free agent Van Ginkel will not be moving to Rangers this summer, despite previous reports suggesting otherwise:

There were clear benefits to Rangers signing Van Ginkel in the current transfer window, given his undeniable pedigree, in terms of the clubs he represented during his career. He played for Chelsea, joining permanently back in 2013, and has had loan spells at AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven, among others, and won eight caps in the Netherlands.

The fact that the Dutchman would have joined on a free also means that there would not be much risk, just looking at wages, although the fact that he is 31 years old means that the Gers could sign the player. who has passed his prime.

Assuming Van Ginkel is off the table, it is still important for Clement to look for another midfielder between now and the end of the window, ensuring there are enough options in a key position, allowing his side to lift another real Scottish Premiership title. .

Ryan Jack has left after seven years at Ibrox, for example, which has left a void in the squad, and with other signings already in place, targeting one individual in the middle of the park may make sense.
