Rangers are reportedly set to rival Sevilla over the signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein.
Ibrox boss Russell Martin has already bolstered his squad with nine new signings this summer and has previously hinted that he will look to bring in another goalkeeper to provide added competition for no.1 stopper Jack Butland.
And while a loan move for Brighton's Carl Rushworth is said to have fell through, the Light Blues are now said to have their eye on Estonia international Hein, according to reports in Germany (via insidefutbol).
Hein, 23, joined the Gunners' youth ranks back in 2018 and has made one first team appearance for Mikel Arteta's side.
He spent last season on loan at Real Valladolid in La Liga, making 31 appearances as the team were relegated from Spain's top-flight.
Hein has won 39 caps for his country since making his senior bow five years ago.

Meanwhile, Rangers are also said to have made a move for Real Betis youngster Nobel Mendy.
