Rangers are actively pursuing a transfer with Sturm Graz for midfielder Tochi Chukwuani as the January transfer window approaches. Manager Danny Rohl aims to rejuvenate the squad with the support of the club’s American owners, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, as they seek to enhance their position in the Scottish Premiership.
January Transfer Activities
Recent reports indicate that Rangers are preparing to offload up to six players this month. This strategy is intended to generate funds for new acquisitions. Notable players expected to leave include:
- Lyall Cameron
- Findlay Curtis
- Oscar Cortes (on loan)
- Joe Rothwell (not in the first team)
Rohl has identified midfielder reinforcement as a priority. The club is eyeing additional talent, including BK Hacken’s Silas Andersen. Meanwhile, progress on a deal for Pierre Ekwah has been delayed due to administrative hurdles. Chukwuani, at 22, has gained attention as a crucial addition and is reportedly a top target for Rangers.
Additional Transfer Targets
Aside from Chukwuani, Rangers are also looking for a left-back, with Brentford loanee Jayden Meghoma their only option in that position. There is renewed interest in former Hearts defender James Penrice. However, reports from Greece suggest that AEK Athens have ruled out discussions for their player, who they consider vital to their squad.
Another option for Rangers includes Tuur Rommens, a defender from Westerlo, who is seen as a more feasible acquisition compared to Penrice, especially considering Rommens’ status as a Belgium U21 player.
Conclusion
The upcoming weeks will be crucial as Rangers look to solidify their squad with smart investments. As they engage in discussions with Sturm Graz for Tochi Chukwuani and explore other opportunities, the club aims to enhance their competitiveness in the league.
