Rangers are set to bring winger Eros Grezda to Ibrox.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told BBC Sport that he thinks imminent signing Eros Grezda is an ‘excellent player’, predicting that fans will love him.
The Gers have already snapped up 12 signings this summer, with the most recent being striker Kyle Lafferty from Hearts last week – but Gerrard isn’t finished in the market just yet.
With the market closing on Friday, Rangers are still pursuing two signings; a centre back to compete with Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic, and a winger given that Jamie Murphy is out for the season with a knee injury.
In recent days, it has been heavily reported that Rangers will be bringing in Osijek winger Eros Grezda, with The Scottish Sun reporting that his £1.8million release clause has been activated.
The 23-year-old starred for Osijek last season following a move from Lokomotiva, and he is now set to become the latest player to make the move from Croatian football to Ibrox.
Rangers landed defender Katic from Slaven Belupo before signing left back Borna Barisic from Osijek following their Europa League clash, with Grezda now following him – even though he was injured and didn’t play against Rangers.
Gers fans may not be familiar with Albanian international Grezda, but Gerrard has now discussed the move, telling BBC Sport that he thinks the winger is an excellent player.
Gerrard predicts that Rangers fans will love Grezda as he is quick and very direct, whilst he also suggested that he spoke to Katic and Barisic about a deal for him, and they both suggested that Grezda was ‘by far Osijek’s best player last season’.
“He is an excellent player and the fans will love him because he can contribute in the final third,” said Gerrard. “He’s really quick, very direct and he comes in with international experience. All going well, hopefully he’ll be a big player for us moving forward,” he added.
