Glasgow Rangers should keep an eye on Krystian Bielik’s availability as he could be a good target for the Ibrox side.

According to a recent report from The Sun on Sunday (print edition; 17th December 2017; page 61), Arsenal could loan out Krystian Bielik in January as he looks to step up his comeback after a number of months on the sidelines.

Bielik is arguably one of more impressive prospects coming through at the Emirates, and if he is loaned out in January, then perhaps Rangers should put themselves in the mix to bag his signature as he could certainly be a great addition to the Gers squad.

Rangers have looked much more impressive lately, but there are still areas of the squad that may concern Graeme Murty and director of football Mark Allen, especially after their disappointing defeat to St Johnstone at the weekend.

While the Gers have a number of options at centre-back, Ross McCrorie appears to be the only one who does not tend to divide opinion on some level, and he appears to have already established himself as a mainstay in a different position, having impressed in holding midfield.

Bielik would be able to bolster their centre-back options, and based on what he showed during his loan spell with Birmingham last season, he has the capabilities to establish himself as one of the key men in that position. His ability to play slightly further forward would also prove beneficial if McCrorie is absent for any reason.

Signing a youngster on loan may not be ideal, but January can be a notoriously difficult time to do significant business so signing a player of Bielik’s calibre on loan until the end of the season may be a great solution for Rangers as they look to build on the promise that they have shown during the last few weeks.
