According to KickGH in Ghana, Rangers are plotting a move to sign Nordsjaelland attacker Isaac Atanga.

It’s claimed that Rangers have expressed their interest in signing Atanga this summer, having put himself on Ross Wilson’s radar.

Talks are ‘set to be opened’ according to this report, with Rangers hoping to get him snapped up this summer.

However, Atanga has also attracted interest from Alaves, Anderlecht, Club Brugge and Feyenoord, meaning Rangers will face a battle.

Nordsjaelland allegedly want between €5million to €9million (£4.5million to £8million) for Atanga, which Rangers may be able to pay if they do sell Alfredo Morelos.

Atanga, 20, is a diminutive Ghanaian winger with blistering pace, and he impressed this past season with seven goals and five assists for Nordsjaelland.

Rangers need to find a right winger they can rely on, and adding the blazing speed of Atanga could provide a new dimension in Steven Gerrard’s attack.

Atanga has huge potential, and has the profile that Rangers should be looking to invest in if Morelos does depart this summer, so the youngster is a name for Rangers fans to keep an eye on.
