Timm Klose helped Norwich City back to the Premier League but he could reportedly join Scottish Premiership powerhouses Rangers this summer.
Fenerbahce have an advantage over Rangers in pursuit of Swiss centre-back Timm Klose, according to Hurriyet.
The Sun (28 April, page 59) reported over the weekend that Steven Gerrard’s side were hoping to sign the giant defender this summer when his contract at Premier League-bound Norwich City expires.
Klose, who moved to Carrow Road for £8.5 million from Wolfsburg three years ago (Mail), is out of contract at the end of the season and will therefore be available for free.
And a Rangers side who are set to lose both Gareth McAuley and Joe Worrall in the summer could do with an experienced centre-back like the 30-year-old.
But they face a real challenge with Fenerbahce also in the hunt.
According to Hurriyet, the Super Lig giants have one key advantage given that their director of football Damien Comolli has a close friendship with Klose’s agent Gaetano Giallanza, who also represents Fenerbahce midfielder and Switzerland U21 international Michael Frey.
Fener have endured a dismal season in the Super Lig and are still not clear of the relegation zone. And they are crying out for defensive reinforcements with Martin Skrtel, Roman Neustadter and Sener Ozbayrakli all set to leave Istanbul this summer.
