Rangers are reportedly looking to lure winger Eros Grezda to Ibrox.
According to Index in Croatia, Rangers are closing in on a deal for Osijek winger Eros Grezda ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
The Gers have already added 12 new signings this summer, bringing in Allan McGregor, Jon Flanagan, Connor Goldson, Nikola Katic, Borna Barisic, Lassana Coulibaly, Scott Arfield, Ovie Ejaria, Jamie Murphy, Ryan Kent, Umar Sadiq and Kyle Lafferty.
Results have been impressive so far under new boss Steven Gerrard, but there could still be more additions before Friday’s transfer deadline, with another winger wanted after Murphy’s season-ending knee injury.
A host of wide man have been linked in recent days, and now Index in Croatia report that Rangers are closing in on a deal for Osijek winger Eros Grezda, who is missing through injury right now but doesn’t want to play until he is fully fit, as he isn’t keen to risk his move to Scotland.
Rangers have pounced to sign two stars of Croatian football this summer, landing Katic from Slaven Belupo and Osijek left back Barisic, with the latter arriving after facing Rangers in the Europa League qualifiers.
They could now raid Osijek again, but a move for Grezda would be interesting given that he didn’t actually face Rangers in either leg of their Europa League clash, as he missed both games with injury.
Rangers may have been monitoring Grezda outside of the Europa League then, or seen him whilst studying their opponents for their games, and a fee of £2.7million has been claimed for the Albanian international.
Grezda, 23, starred with Lokomotiva before heading to Osijek last summer, and the wide man – who possesses blistering pace – finished the campaign with eight goals in all competitions in an impressive season, with Rangers now potentially moving to bring him to Ibrox alongside Katic and Barisic.
