Gio Reyna has been tipped for a surprise transfer to Rangers.
The original US wonderkid, Freddy Adu, insists the son of Claudio, a former Gers star of course, needs to leave current club Borussia Dortmund.
In the past year, the attacker has struggled for game time at the Bundesliga giants, scoring just once, and notching two assists his limited minutes on the pitch.
Adu believe that Ibrox would be the perfect place for the 22-year-old to flourish ahead of next summer's World Cup in his homeland.
"As far as Gio goes, I'm the biggest fan," Adu told Unibet racing. "For the US national team, I think his skillset is so incredibly needed and pivotal to the success of the national team right now.
"We need a player like him in the midfield in the national team. I've always sung his praises. His situation right now, oh man it breaks my heart. It really does, because I think he's so talented.
"Sometimes as players, we want to be at big clubs, and we want to be at clubs that are known.
"But sometimes it just doesn't work out. And it has not worked out for Gio at Dortmund.
"In my opinion, I think he just needs to focus on finding a move away from Dortmund, somewhere he will be an essential part of the team.
"If he could go to a place like Rangers, I think it'll do wonders for him. He will get the playing time he needs, he will be an essential part of the team, and he will essentially grow a lot as a player and just improve a lot.
"You don't get better by sitting on the bench. I mean, you can train all you want, but your game gets to that next level by getting a lot of game time. That just that just goes for everybody. So if he gets a chance to go to a team like Rangers, I think it'll benefit him tremendously.
"I do think that he's good enough to go to Rangers and become a regular starter on that team, and once he gets a chance to be a regular starter and not always looking over his shoulder if he makes a mistake, if he doesn't do well, he’s gonna be right back on the bench, etc.
"You can’t operate, nobody wants to deal with that.
"I think that would give him an opportunity to really grow and improve a lot as a player and, in turn, preparing him for the World Cup that's coming up, because this is a really important year."
