Rangers have joined the long list of clubs being linked with a move for talented winger Grady Diangana. 

As reported by the Scottish Herald, Steven Gerrard’s side are keen on bringing the attacking sensation to Ibrox this summer.

A previous report from The Sun (13/07/20; pg 47) has suggested that the Rangers target would cost around £15 million this summer, but there is of course every chance Gerrard and co try to lure him to Ibrox on loan. 

Rangers are not alone in the hunt for Diangana, with their Old Firm rivals keen as well as clubs from across Europe. 

It comes after some excellent form at West Brom this season, where he is on loan from West Ham United. 

At The Hawthorns, he is playing with a former Rangers loanee, who earlier this season spoke of how much the 22-year-old was terrorising him in training. 

Kyle Bartley spent two spells on loan at Rangers in the early days of his career, playing 30 times for the Ibrox club and scoring one goal. 

Now at West Brom, he told the Express and Star of the impact Diangana often has on him in training. 

“If ever I’ve got a choice of being on their team then I make sure I am! And if not then I think I told Grady the other day to swap wings because he was on the wing near me and I didn’t want anything to do with it.

“He’s just so quick. One second he’s there and the next second he’s scored a goal and I’m thinking ‘how’s that happened?’

“He’s been great but as have all the boys.”

It’s huge praise, especially from one of the Championship’s top defenders. 

Rangers will clearly be hoping they can win the battle for this electric winger in the summer. If he is terrifying as Bartley makes him out to be, then he could wreak havoc in the Scottish Premiership.
