Rangers are reportedly in talks to sign Mostafa Mohamed, one of the highest-rated young strikers in African football.
The Ibrox side look set to strengthen their squad next month when the transfer window opens and according to former Egyptian star Haytham Farouk the striker is a target for the Premiership side.
They are reportedly eyeing a shock move for Cairo giants Zamalek's 22-year-old striker Mohamed to go along with Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe.
Mohamed - who has already been capped twice by Egypt - won the top scorer award in the Under 23s African Cup of Nations last month as he helped his country win the trophy.
And that's alerted Steven Gerrard , who has already sent Rangers representatives to meet Mohamed, according to former Feyenoord, Helsingborgs and Egypt international Farouk - who is now also a respected TV pundit in his homeland.
He said: "I know for a fact Mohamed has options in European football most notably from Glasgow Rangers.
"Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has already sent a delegate from his club to speak with him. They were attracted to him because of his performances in the Under 23s Cup of Nations.
"I think it would be a great move for him to go to a club like Rangers. It's important when he does move to European football he takes the right steps with the right club.
"I believe he is one of the exciting talents in African football right now, but until he gets his move, it's important he focuses on his form at Zamalek."
