As the summer transfer window approaches, Rangers have reportedly been boosted by the news that one particular attacking target is now open to completing a move to Ibrox.
Rangers receive transfer boost
It looks set to be a hectic summer at Ibrox, starting with new ownership with the 49ers Group reportedly on their way in the coming months. To say that they'll have an important first act to make would be a major understatement too, with a new manager needed to take over from interim boss Barry Ferguson.
Whilst the interim boss has impressed at times, recent rumours suggest that Rangers are set to turn their attention towards a more experienced option and could even lure the likes of Marco Rose to Scotland. The German was recently sacked by RB Leipzig as they continued to slip away from Champions League qualification in the Bundesliga, but could be handed an instant return to management by the Gers.

Meanwhile, it could also be a busy summer on the incomings front with a permanent move for Vaclav Cerny already mooted in recent weeks. And the loanee may not be the only attacking star on the way to Ibrox in what could turn into a major boost.
According to Rangers News, Dor Turgeman is now open to joining Rangers this summer and the 49ers could yet swoop in to land a deal worth around £5m in the coming months.
That said, the Maccabi Tel Aviv forward hasn't exactly hidden his end goal, with reports indicating that he'll only complete a move to the Scottish giants if he can use them as a stepping stone towards the Premier League.

The 49ers seem key to a deal.
Unfortunately for Rangers, it is something that Koppen may consider even if that is the case as he looks to transform the Gers' transfer model into one that signs stars for cheap, builds them up and then sells them on for major profit.
"Quick" Turgeman suits Koppen's plan
Just like Turgeman has made his ambitions no secret, Koppen has been fairly open about his own plan at Rangers - telling reporters as relayed by Rangers News: “You have to let the players go, also because that’s how you attract them, they come with an ambition to go. We cannot force them to stay.
“You have to say to them, come here to be successful and win, but this is not your end station. 80% of these players who move to the club should come with the ambition to go. Ultimately, that is only achieved by winning and progressing so that everyone can benefit – the club and the player.”
When thinking about players that would slot straight into that criteria of players, Turgeman instantly comes to mind. The 21-year-old, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, could add instant firepower at Ibrox before earning the Premier League move that he desires.
Dubbed "quick" and "agile" by The Rangers Journal last summer, the 49ers should make signing Turgeman one of their first priorities when they arrive at the club this summer.
