Kemar Roofe Rangers transfer 'leak' as signing target strikes a pose ahead of Ibrox switch

An image that shows Kemar Roofe posing with the Rangers home kit has been leaked online.

A snap that looks to be from the club's training ground has been shared on social media with the forward in Glasgow ahead of his move to the Premiership title chasers.

The 27-year-old Anderlecht striker is set to become Rangers' fifth summer signing after spending the last 12 months in Belgium.

But the attacker made his name with Leeds United and his red-hot run at Elland Road grabbed the attention of former boss Vincent Kompany.

Cash-strapped Anderlecht have reluctantly allowed their key striker to move and Steven Gerrard was desperate to land his No.1 signing target.

And the impending arrival of the former West Brom graduate will only add fuel to speculation surrounding the future of Alfredo Morelos.

The Colombian international is a wanted man with both Lille and Bologna keen on a deal for the man who netted 29 goals last season.

Roofe can play through the middle but also has experience playing wider in a front three and will give Gerrard and his coaching team options ahead of a season for the ages.

The manager has not been shy in speaking up about his need for reinforcements up top and reiterated the point after the win over Aberdeen at the weekend.

He said: "We can't go much longer with just one fit forward. I want one in yesterday."
