Fashion Sakala to Rangers transfer latest as Ibrox 'preferred' destination over Lille switch

Fashion Sakala would prefer a move to Rangers over Ligue 1 leaders Lille this summer - according to a report.

Record Sport revealed the Zambia cap is high on Steven Gerrard 's summer shopping list as he looks to bring the winger in on a free this summer.

However, the French side are keen to land the on-form KV Oostende star on a pre-contract agreement.

Belgian football outlet Votebal claim that the attacker would "prefer a transfer" to the Premiership over Ligue 1 as we approach the end of the season.

Oostende sporting director Gauthier Ganaye revealed previously that Sakala's agent had snubbed new contract talks but had hoped to revive a deal with the club chasing Europa League football.

However, Votebal further note that Sakala has knocked back interest from Royal Antwerp and talks with his current club have stalled as he prefers a move away from Belgium.

The 24-year-old has an impressive 13 goals for the season and has a strike rate of more than one in two games this season.

He was sidelined with injury at the start of April but made his return to action against Cercle Brugge last week.
