Rangers Identify This In-Demand Midfield Star As A Summer Target: Why McInnes Must Make The Call

Rangers Identify This In-Demand Midfield Star As A Summer Target: Why McInnes Must Make The Call If a recent report from Sky Sports Switzerland is true, Rangers have identified Ryan Fosso as a summer target and are currently locked in talks with his entourage. But they are not alone in the race, with Spanish Side Levante, along with the Serie A outfit Torino and an unnamed Italian club, also making their moves for the Sturm Graz midfield ace. Born in Switzerland, the 24-year-old Cameroon international progressed through the esteemed academy ranks of Young Boys and featured regularly for their reserves in the lower leagues of the Swiss football pyramid. He then joined Vaduz in the second tier before plying his trade in the Netherlands, completing a Bosman switch to Fortuna Sittard. His emergence in the Eredivisie earned Sturm Graz’s attention, and the Austrian heavyweights snapped him up earlier this year for a fee in the region of €900,000. Fosso has soon established himself as a first-team starter in Die Schwoazn’s midfield. His composure as a deep-lying playmaker has now made him one of the most sought-after names in this transfer window. With 14 appearances already since his January move, he would be key to Sturm Graz’s battle to reclaim the Austrian Bundesliga silverware. However, a hefty offer from his suitors could prompt them to sanction an exit for a significant financial gain.

The Scotsman has been appointed as the new Ibrox chief following Danny Rohl’s move to Red Bull Salzburg, and the management would back him with more signings to overcome last season’s misery and despair. Meanwhile, the Light Blues have already secured Dan Neil’s services and are chasing multiple other midfielders. Lewis Ferguson, Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Vanja Dragojević have emerged as prime targets, despite being well-equipped in the centre of the pitch. Nevertheless, a few movements are on the cards, with the outcast pair Lyall Cameron and José Cifuentes likely to be offloaded in the coming days. Connor Barron could be used in a potential player-plus-cash deal to sign Ferguson. Also, the growing interest in Nicolas Raskin might see them part ways with the Belgian World Cup star. Fosso is regarded for his ability to orchestrate the tempo from the deep with his technical traits and passing expertise. His timely tackles, sense of positioning, high work ethic, and ball-carrying ability tick the boxes for a modern-day ‘number 6’. It remains to be seen now whether the Glasgow giants are desperate enough to rope him in or prefer other targets.
