Reported Rangers target Joseph Okumu is the best centre-back ever to play in the Swedish top flight according to Elfsborg's sporting director.
The Kenyan international was linked with a move to Ibrox in March, and stated this week he's keen to take the "next step" in his career.
Joining Steven Gerrard 's side could be a possibility as they look to strengthen for their Premiership title defence.
And Elfsborg's sporting director reckons Okumu could be the best defender the Allsvenskan has ever seen, ahead of even the likes of Filip Helander and Olof Mellberg.
Stefan Andreasson said: "Okumu has been talked about a lot since he came to us.
"We understood that this was a very good player, then he showed maybe the whole of Sweden last year, and also Europe. It is clear that Okumu is one of the best.
"I have said it once before, that he is the best centre-back that has ever been in the Allsvenskan - you can say that sometimes.
"He is destined to have a career outside Scandinavia, which is positive. We must enjoy him as long as he's here."
