Rangers are keeping tabs on Bilal Brahimi ahead of the January transfer window, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.

The 20-year-old winger is wanted by the Ibrox-based outfit as they go in search of some more attacking talents.

Steven Gerrard has proved he is capable of nurturing young talents during his time at Rangers and is now looking at Brahimi.

The flying winger is currently on loan with Le Mans in the Championnat National – the third tier of French football.

Brahimi is doing well too, scoring six goals and registering two assists as he aims to force his way into the Reims team.

In 20 games for his parent club, he has scored five goals and registered four assists and the future looks bright.

Brahimi can play on both flanks but has predominantly featured on the right for Le Mans.

Rangers aren’t the only club interested, with VfB Stuttgart and Lens also keen.

Gerrard is overseeing a stunning season at Rangers.

His team are currently 16 points clear of Celtic and look on course to end their stranglehold on Scottish football.

Rangers aren’t blessed with a plethora of wide options, with Ryan Kent and Ianis Hagi the standout options.

With that in mind, adding Brahimi would make a lot of sense.

TBR View – Youngster fits the profile of a Rangers signing nicely

Gerrard clearly prefers to work with youngster players and Brahimi could be the next to benefit from his faith.

The youngster is only really starting out and after failing to make the grade at Middlesbrough, he’ll perhaps welcome another crack at British football.

Learning from Kent and Hagi would be ideal for the youngster and he certainly has the quality to shine in Scotland.

The Paris-born starlet is flying at the moment and it’s easy to see why Rangers are keen to sign the player.
