Joey Veerman Rangers transfer news as Atalanta step up Heerenveen star pursuit amid Ibrox interest

In-demand Joey Veerman could be set for a move to Atalanta this summer amid links with Rangers.

Steven Gerrard has been been linked with a move for the 22-year-old who has scored seven goals and assisted a further ten in the Eredivisie.

The Premiership champions have been named among potential suitors with the likes of Atlanta and Reims also chasing Veerman's signature.

Fellow Dutch side PSV were reportedly leading the chase for Veerman, but manager Roger Schmidt has claimed no club in the Netherlands can meet the asking price.

Heerenveen skipper Henk Veerman additionally offered an insight into the future of the playmaker and revealed Ibrox as a possible summer destination.

However, Italian outlet Bergamoe Sport claim that the Serie A side are the first to make their move for the midfielder.

Atalanta are reportedly keen to recruit from the Dutch top flight this summer and Veerman is top of boss Gian Piero Gasperini's wish list.

The report notes that he would be seen as a developing talent and first-team opportunities could be limited at the Champions League bound side.
