Rangers Powerless To Resist Offers For ‘Phenomenal’ Star Amid Tottenham Interest
Rangers are gearing up for a busy January in the transfer market. Danny Rohl has taken charge as head coach but is facing a huge uphill battle as he looks to get his side challenging at the top end of the Scottish Premiership.
After a disappointing summer in terms of transfers, the Gers have plenty of work to do in order to strengthen their squad for the second half of the campaign and beyond. Unfortunately for Rohl, it’s unlikely that new signings will be made unless some high-profile stars are also moved on with one player in particular attracting admiring glances.
Nico Raskin Firmly On Tottenham’s Radar
Rangers are facing a real battle to keep hold of star man, Nico Raskin. According to Football Insider, Rangers would find it very difficult to turn down a bid for the midfielder.
Tottenham have already been linked with a move for the player and have been impressed by his performances at both club and international level.
Described as ‘phenomenal’, Raskin is under contract until 2028. While Rohl does not want to lose the player, he could have no choice if Spurs look to firm up their interest with a formal bid for the player.
Raskin Sale Could Be Blessing For Rangers
The thought of losing Nico Raskin is unbearable for Rangers fans, but it might not be the worst thing in the world as far as the club are concerned.
The Glaswegian giants recruited a number of players over the summer but so far this term, those recruits have done little to improve the fortunes of the Gers who have struggled to replace the stars who have led them in previous seasons.
As a result, the feeling is that Rangers need two or three strong transfer windows in order to reinvent Rohl’s squad and make them fit for purpose in their quest of challenging for the Scottish Premiership title once again.
Doing this won’t be cheap, though. Signing quality players will cost money and that’s why a potential deal to sell Raskin could be very important for the future of this Rangers side. Selling him to a club like Tottenham means that the Ibrox side will undoubtedly attract a significant fee for a player who has more than two and a half years left on his contract.
If that money can then be reinvested in the playing squad, Rangers could be on the right track as they look to climb to the summit of Scottish football once again.
