Rangers 'keen' on Ike Ugbo as Michael Beale eyes reunion with Ligue 1 star at Ibrox

Rangers are keen on snapping up Troyes striker Ike Ugbo, according to a report.

Michael Beale is set for a massive summer overhaul at Ibrox and after the club confirmed the news that Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Scott Arfield will be leaving from the attacking positions, the 42-year-old is keen to boost his numbers in the position. The Light Blues gaffer knows the player from his time at Chelsea and the Scottish Sun say he wants a reunion in Glasgow.

The 24-year-old also is believed to have interest south of the border in shape of English Premier League new boys Burnley. The Ligue 1 hitman penned a four-year deal at his current club last summer but the same report states he has a price value of around £3.5millon.

Ugbo is a full international with Canada and was part of the World Cup squad in Qatar alongside Celtic defender Alistair Johnston - although he never landed any action.

Beale has already snapped up Kieran Dowell on a three-year contract once his Norwich City deal officially expires with the club announcing the deal pre-Hearts in an emotional send-off to the five players heading out the door.

The trio mentioned above are joined by Allan McGregor and Filip Helander in departing following the conclusion of deals as they received a huge ovation from the Ibrox faithful.

Rangers end their campaign at St Mirren on Saturday before full focus turns to the summer recruitment drive and bidding to end Celtic's dominance and one again qualify for the Champions League through the qualifying route.
