Rangers are eyeing up a deal for Bologna winger Andreas Skov Olsen – and a decision could come within a matter of days.
The Scottish Daily Mail (01/01, back page) suggested that Rangers have now made contact with Bologna over signing Skov Olsen.
Bologna Sport News now claim that Skov Olsen has offers on the table from Sampdoria and Rangers.
That report notes that Skov Olsen will decide his next team in the coming days as he seeks a move early into January.
Rangers have been linked with Skov Olsen for some time, and they will now hope to beat Sampdoria to his signature.
Olsen can be Van Bronckhorst’s new Berghuis at Rangers
One of the great success stories in Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s time at Feyenoord was Steven Berghuis.
After barely featuring at Watford, Berghuis became a star under Van Bronckhorst.
With 44 goals and 37 assists in 120 games under Van Bronckhorst, Berghuis was one of the now-Rangers manager’s key players.
You can see parallels between Berghuis and Skov Olsen. Both are fairly tall wingers, standing at over 6ft tall.
Both predominantly play down the right flank, cutting inside on their stronger left sides, or can feature as number 10’s.
Having that left-footed threat in from the right side is important to Van Bronckhorst, and Olsen could do that for Rangers – if they can get a deal done.
