Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers and Hull City are in contention to sign the Leeds United striker, according to a bookmakers.

Rangers have been installed as second favourites to sign Leeds United striker Souleymane Doukara before the month is out, with odds provided by Bet Victor.

The 25-year-old is, according to The Yorkshire Post, heading for the exit door at Leeds after failing to feature in United’s first five games of the season.

Rangers could do with another striking option before the transfer window shuts after offloading Joe Garner and Martyn Waghorn to Ipswich Town this summer.

And Bet Victor have installed the Gers as 4/1 second favourites to sign the French hitman, who scored six times in 17 Championship starts for Leeds last season.

Hull City and Aberdeen are joint-favourites at 8/1 apiece, while Preston North End are 2/1 favourites to sign Doukara.

He is surplus to requirements at Elland Road despite the imminent transfer of Chris Wood, whose form arguably stood in the way of Doukara getting a lot more games last time around under Garry Monk.

Hull City could do with the added firepower up front after winning just one of their first Championship outings, but it remains to be seen where he winds up.
