Rangers are reportedly eyeing a deal for Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry after Anderlecht made the first move.
The Light Blues are in the midst of a packed transfer window with six new faces already in the door.
Ross McCrorie, Dan Neil, Lawrence Shankland, Cammy Devlin, Ivor Pandur and Ben Godfrey already part of his new look squad.
Record Sport understands a deal worth around £4.5million has now been thrashed out and agreed with Partisan Belgrade for Vanja Dragojevi with the 20-year-old expected to arrive in Glasgow imminently - but the deals are not expected to stop there amid Derek McInnes' overhaul.
Rangers are keen on a deal to bring back Vaclav Cerny from Besiktas - though the Istanbul giants are demanding a bumper payday for the player.
That has seen the Glasgow giants eye other targets - with The Athletic reporting 21-year-old Cozier-Duberry is on the shopping list.
The Scottish Premiership side, Augsburg and Paris FC are said to be "keen" on a deal, while Anderlecht have already seen a £5m offer turfed out - with the player's current deal set to expire in 2028.
Last season, Cozier-Duberry had a dream loan spell at Bolton, becoming a fan favourite as he helped Steven Schumacher’s side secure promotion back to the Championship with nine goals and 13 assists.
He is currently spending pre-season with the Seagulls, where he will be assessed by boss Fabian Hurzeler.
As it stands, the report claims the wide man is "part of the first team plans, and talks are continuing over a new contract" for the Arsenal academy graduate.
During his time with the Gunners, former Arsenal youth coach Jack Wilshere talked up the rising star with a glowing comparison to Bukayo Saka.
He said: “Amario is very exciting and Mikel [Arteta] likes him. He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, plays in the same position as him, needs to get better with his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s definitely exciting.
"In some moments, he’s unplayable. You give him the ball and he can make things happen.
"You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.”
He would leave the Emirates for the AMEX in 2024 at the end of his contract - but has yet to make his mark on the Premier League.
