Glasgow Rangers should compete with Leeds United for Aapo Halme.
The talented centre-back has broken into the HJK Helsinki first team at just 19 and is an under-21 international for his country.
Leeds face competition from Ajax for his signature, but Scottish giants Rangers could yet become their biggest challengers.
Rangers have signed two players from HJK Helsinki in consecutive summers and have inside knowledge on the Finnish market due to former player Jonatan Johansson.
Johansson was appointed as Rangers assistant manager earlier this year, and was key to the club clinching a deal for HJK top scorer Alfredo Morelos.
Morelos has been a tremendous signing and came under former Finland international Johansson’s recommendation.
The previous summer Rangers swooped for teenager Serge Atakayi, who made his debut for HJK at just 16.
Atakayi is a Finland youth international teammate of Aapo Halme, and it would be easy for him to settle in Scotland.
Rangers need more reinforcements at centre-back and Halme would be a smart addition.
If Leeds are serious about his signature they will need to get a move on before the Scottish side click into gear and make efforts to bring him to Ibrox.
