Conor Coady to Rangers transfer timeline emerges as Ibrox side in talks for 2 more deals after landing defender
Talks have been ongoing with the Foxes and there is a willingness on the 32-year-old's part to move to Ibrox Rangers hope to get the green light from Leicester City to sign Conor Coady this week. The former England international has been a long-term target for sporting director Kevin Thelwell since he was appointed over the summer. Talks have been ongoing with the Foxes and there is a willingness on the 32-year-old's part to move to Ibrox. The move has been slowed down by Leicester's decision to sack head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and the fallout from their relegation from the Premier League and the financial impact of that. The Midlands club have had more pressing issues but are expected to give Coady the green light to move north. The former Wolves defender is on a decent wage and in the final year of his deal. The move would help them cut their wage budget. Rangers wouldn't be able to offer the same wages but are willing to put a long-term deal in place to land Coady. New boss Russell Martin has already brought in Max Aarons from Norwich City on-loan and Coady is also likely to be part of his new-look defence. Rangers had also targeted Kwame Poku but he has decided to go to Queen's Park Rangers. The Ibrox side could have signed him from Peterborough for nothing cross-border. Rangers tabled a big-money deal in excess of £1million-a-year because they didn't have to pay compensation. Their move was scooped when QPR matched those wages and also agreed to pay Peterborough compensation. The 23-year-old then decided he wanted to move to London to be closer to his family than to head to Scotland. Rangers are still working on a couple of other fronts, with Liverpool left back Owen Beck amongst them and Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman. The Light Blues are also waiting to see what happens with interest in some of their own players. Lille are keen on Hamza Igamane but Rangers' valuation is an issue and that remains the case for AEK Athens and Cyriel Dessers.

Rangers on brink of four transfers as Vaclav Cerny rules shift and Brighton 'sensation' secured
The club are ramping up their market moves with Russell Martin's first competitive game just around the corner Rangers have snapped up Max Aarons as the first signing for the Russell Martin era at - but fans are desperate to see more deals get over the line. Lyall Cameron has joined the Rangers squad having agreed a pre-contract move from Dundee when Philippe Clement was in the hot seat but with the American revolution in motion under the new Ibrox owners fans are desperate to see the deals flood in. The crucial Champions League qualifiers against Panathinaikos next month and a new striker is top of the agenda with Hamza Igamane attracting interest from Lille and talks with AEK over Cyriel Dessers rumbling on. However, the Scottish Premiership side plan to offload either Igamane or Dessers before rubber stamping the deal for the 21-year-old. There is also set to be one imminent arrival and exit in the Light Blues' academy ranks. Fabrizio Romano states that 16 year-old talent Alfie Hutchison has completed a move to Newcastle United after several Premier League clubs had been chasing a deal. Football Insider also claim highly-rated Brighton winger "sensation" Zebedee Lawson has chosen Rangers as his next step. Conor Coady is inching closer to a move to reinforce the backline at Ibrox with sporting director Kevin Thelwell leading the push for a deal amid talks with Leicester City having worked with the 32-year-old at Wolves and Everton. Former Aberdeen chief Keith Wyness reckons that the club could be signing the next Terry Butcher, telling The Insider Track: 'Having had experience with Conor, I think he would be a great signing for Rangers. "He'd remind me a bit of the Terry Butcher days, that famous era at Rangers with Gazza (Paul Gascoigne). 'I think that Conor Coady is that type of character that would go down really well at Ibrox and would be a great addition, and would play the Russell Martin way as well. 'Even for a season or two to stabilise things, I think that would be a great signing to come in, so I would see that as a possibility for Rangers.' A winger is also on the agenda following the departure of Vaclav Cerny - but Kwame Poku won't be coming in. The 23-year-old is set to join Queens Park Rangers at the the end of his Peterborough contract despite heavy interest from the Premiership side. So, could Rangers go back to the Czech international? Cerny's agent David Nehoda left the door open last week stating: "Vaclav will be back in Wolfsburg in time for their start of training. "We are currently not in talks with Rangers about a possible further collaboration. There is no concrete offer from any other club either. "The summer transfer market window does continue for a long time though, so everything remains possible." Reports in Germany have claimed Cerny is now officially on the transfer list with Wolfsburg having to seriously cut their squad amid ongoing financial problems with owners German car giants Volkswagen. But amid a shifting picture at the Bundesliga giants, Braunschweiger Zeitung claims that with the club unable to spend big this summer boss Paul Simon is is willing to give the wide man a second chance and assess him in pre-season after his impressive season in Scotland.
