Xavi Simons made a statement of intent for Paris Saint-Germain on Monday night with an eye-catching performance in the Coupe de France.
Meanwhile reports coming from the Netherlands suggest that Joey Veerman will be on the move - but NOT to Rangers, as PSV Eindhoven have agreed a £5 million fee.
Teenage Dutchman Simons has been heavily linked with a move to Rangers and is admired by Ibrox boss Gio van Bronckhorst.
His contract is up at the end of the season and he appeared frozen out completely at the runaway Ligue 1 leaders.
But he was brought in from the cold to face fourth-tier side Vannes in the Coupe de France on Monday night and delivered in some style with a wonderful assist for Kylian Mbappe.
The 18-year-old helped put the game beyond doubt with a line-breaking through ball that teed up Mbappe to score their third in a routine 4-0 win.
And the performance will help his case as he looks to earn a new deal in Paris while it also reminded potential suitors what he's capable of.
A deal for Simons remains very much on the cards for Gers but the same can't be said for long-term reported target Veerman.
Dutch outlet VI say terms have been agreed between Heerenveen and PSV that will see him move for £5m plus add-ons.
That deal is expected to be ironed out on Tuesday with an announcement coming this week.
Meanwhile it's beginning to seem like a move for American midfielder James Sands is close for Rangers.
The 21-year-old New York City FC star is understood to be nearing a switch to Glasgow, with an 18-month loan deal in the works.
And the Daily Mail state an agreement is on the brink of being reached for a player who helped lead City to their first ever MLS Cup.
Sands has been a key man for former Celtic boss Ronny Deila in the States and he's believed to be close to an initial loan switch to Ibrox with the option to make it permanent.
