“There is a real chance” – Rangers could yet seal deadline day striker deal

Rangers and Philippe Clement must act quickly if they want to add one more piece to the puzzle during

the transfer window.

With Danilo, Kemar Roofe, and Abdallah Sima unlikely to return to the Gers squad for some time,

there is a glaring shortage of another number nine to help Cyriel Dessers.

Rangers have received some optimism from the revelation that manager Philippe Clement is looking to

bring in another hitman, according to The Fourth Official.

Rangers could still offer Philippe Clement the striker he needs.

It’s all silent at Tynecastle after they insisted Lawrence Shankland sign a new contract.

With no bids or interest recorded, it appears that the Hearts skipper will remain in Edinburgh for the

time being.

The typically dependable T4O, writing on their Patreon site,

suggested that Rangers might yet be able to provide Philippe Clement the extra firepower that he needs:

“Rangers are looking for a striker and despite the pessimism,

I think there is a real chance that one is landed before the transfer window ends.”

With no mention of a name, the odds are increasing by the hour,

but Nils Koppen and his recruitment team have kept their cards close to their chest throughout the

process.

Rangers fans are hoping that a more natural number nine will be brought in to compete with Dessers.

Fabio Silva has looked smart in his cameo outings thus far, but he could really use a goal or two as soon

as feasible.

Experimenting with the on-loan Wolves forward in a wide position would also be beneficial,

but Clement has yet to use him anywhere other than in rotation with Dessers.

“Pessimism” is precisely the proper word.

However, with low expectations comes more excitement – if the increasingly unlikely occurs and a bright

new striker is sighted at Ibrox when the dust settles on a busy transfer window.
