Rangers miss out as prolific £10m striker accepts MLS transfer

Rangers added one attacker early in the window as Fabio Silva arrived on loan from Wolverhampton

Wanderers.

Yet with Sam Lammers already loaned out to Utrecht and both Danilo and Kemar Roofe injured, fans

may hope to see another attacker arrive.

Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland is the name many are focusing on and one player on the Rangers

radar is now heading to the United States…

Hugo Cuypers heading to MLS after Rangers link

Reports from Belgium earlier this week indicated that Rangers really appreciate Gent striker Hugo

Cuypers.

However, a move to Ibrox was considered unlikely as he was being lined up for a move elsewhere.

The mystery destination is now known as Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri claims that Cuypers is

heading to Major League Soccer with Chicago Fire.

It’s stated that Cuypers has accepted the offer from Chicago Fire and will sign a four-and-a-half-year

deal.

The transfer fee is a hefty one; Tavolieri claims that the price is around €12million (£10million)

including bonuses.

Rangers were never likely to spend that kind of money on one player so Cuypers is now heading

elsewhere, no doubt looking to continue his outstanding goalscoring record.

Cuypers has smashed 51 goals in 90 games for Gent whilst also adding 15 assists.
