The Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is seemingly about to add to his Ibrox ranks.
Rangers are set to sign the son of a footballing legend ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
According to HLN, Ianis Hagi is on his way to Rangers ahead of an initial six-month loan to Steven Gerrard’s side.
Hagi’s father, Gheorghe, is best known for his spells at Real Madrid and Barcelona in the early-to-mid 1999s and starred for Romania at international level.
But the younger Hagi can play a bit too, as England learned the hard way at last summer’s European Under-21 Championship.
And his displays in Italy led to a £3.6 million move to Genk, for whom he played Champions League football earlier in the campaign.
But while his spell in Belgium has not gone quite to plan, despite yielding three goals and four assists in 19 games, some rival fans are convinced that Hagi’s capture is a coup for Rangers.
€5m option to buy Hagi at the end of his loan? That’s a ******* bargain for Rangers.

According to HLN, Rangers’ Hagi agreement will include a purchase option of around £4.2m.
The 21-year-old, who counts Fiorentina and Viitorul Constanța as former clubs, has 10 full caps for Romania.
