Rangers transfer latest as 'aggressive' summer of business continues

Rangers are closing in on several key additions before the new campaign.

Manager Derek McInnes expects at least two new signings before Sunday's friendly. Another addition is anticipated before the Premiership opener against Dundee United.

The club's focus is on securing a right winger and a left-sided defender. They are also keen on midfielder Vanja Dragojevic, who is poised to join from Partizan Belgrade pending minor administrative matters.

The Rangers Review suggests an additional midfield signing could be in the works alongside Dragojevic. There is long-standing interest in Tromso's Jens Hjerto-Dahl, but Cardiff City have the biggest bid on the table.

In defence, Rangers are in talks with Troyes for 20-year-old left-footed centre-back Sankhoun Diawara. Another centre-back target is also being pursued.

Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry has caught the eye for the right flank after a successful loan spell at Bolton. However, competition from other English clubs makes this a highly competitive deal.

As for departures, Danilo is set to join Brazilian side Botafogo, and John Souttar is also expected to leave. This forms part of a reshaping of the leadership group following the exits of James Tavernier and Jack Butland.

Young midfielder Calum Adamson is likely to go out on a straight loan after impressing at Alloa. Interest is coming from England's League Two, but a move to a Scottish Championship promotion contender is more probable.
