Glasgow Rangers have reportedly expressed an interest in bringing Kwadwo Baah to Ibrox.

The 18-year-old, who plies his trade for English third-tier side Rochdale, is also said to be on the radar of numerous other big clubs.

According to The Athletic, the likes of Juventus, Bayern Munich and West Ham are eyeing Baah, alongside Rangers.

Despite his young age, the Dale prodigy has already made 27 competitive senior appearances for his club, registering three goals and two assists.

Baah started out at Crystal Palace before a stint at the Kinetic, a South London foundation which also nurtured Joe Aribo’s talent.

He was also briefly at non-league side Whyteleafe before joining Rochdale as a first-year scholar in 2019, going on to sign his first professional contract a year later.

Dale boss Brian Barry-Murphy has regularly sung Baah’s praises.

“His talent is exceptional and he’s someone we’re very excited about for the future,” he said after the youngster penned his first professional deal.

And in December, after Baah netted en route to a 5-0 win over Wigan, Barry-Murphy said: “He’s a very special talent.

“He’s going to attract the headlines – and rightly so because he’s a very dangerous player.

“In very simple terms, if I was coming to the game I would enjoy watching him.”

Rangers are in dreamland at present, boasting a team that is on course to win Scottish title number 55 and is also in the last 32 of the Europa League.

But no club can rest on its laurels when it comes to scouting and signing new talent.

And Baah really looks like a cut above, judging by his performances, his manager’s opinion of him, and speculation linking him with the likes of Juve and Bayern.
