Rangers now eyeing deadline busting move to sign “brilliant” new left-back.

There is just one week left until the January transfer window closes, and the Rangers still need to address a few critical problems with Philippe Clement’s team. At the beginning of the month, the Gers recruited Fabio Silva on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers; but, they have not made any other acquisitions.

However, they may have a busy seven days ahead of them given their specific need to recruit a new left-back, as a fresh target is apparently coming to light.

Rangers’ left-back problem

Although it’s simple to concentrate on Rangers’ offensive problems, particularly in light of Abdallah Sima’s devastating long-term injury, Clement

and company should be focusing on adding a new left-back this month. Right now, the only players the Gers have available are Borna Barisic and

Ridvan Yilmaz, the latter of whom is expected to depart this summer when his contract expires and the former of whom’s future is uncertain.

If all goes wrong, Rangers won’t have a single left-back available by the end of the season, so this would be the perfect opportunity to take action.

Throughout the winter window, the Scottish giants have been linked with the likes of Cameron Pring and David Jurasek, but they have now reportedly shifted their focus elsewhere in search of a new left-back. According to The Daily Mail, via Rangers News, Rangers are eyeing a “deadline beating” move to sign Luke Thomas. The Leicester City full-back was on loan at Premier League side Sheffield United, before seeing his loan terminated. Now back at the Foxes, he could yet seek another departure.
