£10m Rangers 'target' sees Birmingham door close as Patati price tag plummets amid triple Ibrox winger search
The Ibrox side are in the hunt for three wingers and we've got major updates on two potential targets Rangers have been handed a major boost in their hunt for a new winger, with reported target Jesurun Rak-Sakyi seemingly no longer a wanted by Birmingham City. Russell Martin is closing in on deals for centre-backs Conor Coady and Nasser Djiga but after that, all the noises suggest he'll be looking to strengthen in the wide areas. The fact 18-year-old wide man Findlay Curtis was the only player to finish the 90 minutes against Club Brugge almost felt as if the new boss was making a point about his dire lack of options in those areas – with Oscar Cortes, Ross McCausland and the injured Rabbi Matondo the only natural wingers in his squad currently. But it looks as if that's going to change. And soon. Reports over the weekend put Rak-Sakyi firmly on the radar after he returned to Crystal Palace following an impressive loan spell at Sheffield United last season. He's had plenty of interest within the EFL, with his former side United as well as Southampton and Birmingham all credited with keeping tabs on the 22-year-old. It seems the latter of those options is now off the table, however. Since firm links emerged last month, they've since signed Demarai Grai, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Kanya Fujimoto who can be seen as direct positional rivals. Not to mention spending big on Kyogo, who has taken a serious chunk out of their budget. That narrows the field at least slightly and, while Palace's reported £10m asking price seems steep for Rangers' purposes, a potential loan with an option to buy down the line looks a prudent option if the player is open to a move to Scotland. Another potential wide alternative on the table is highly-rated Maccabi tel Aviv man Wessley Patati. The 'Brazilian Magician', as he's affectionately known by fans over there, had been rated at €10m (£8.6m) in recent reports in the South American media but that appears to have overshot the mark and then some. Now, EOL Esporte are claiming that AZ Alkmaar have had a €3.5m (£3m) bid rejected for his services – but that Maccabi are chasing a fee of just €5m (£4.3m). That new price tag puts him right in the range Rangers would be looking for, and makes a double deal for him and his club teammate Dor Turgeman look financially realistic – especially if Hamza Igamane does end up sealing a £15m exit to Lille. Russell Martin though played that one down following the 2-2 draw with Club Brugge and suggested he'll have a role to play at Ibrox until things ramp up. After the Moroccan sat out of the Ibrox friendly, in which Danilo led the line from the start, Martin said: "Hamza's (absence) has just been a bit of a red tape. He was due back this week with the other international players. 'He was at the airport and they just didn't have the right visa. I don't think it's anyone's fault. Things have changed since he last got his visa. So, we had to wait for him to get a new one, which he should have tomorrow and he will be with us this week. 'I haven't heard of any (bid), not that I know of.'

Rangers 'target' £10m-rated Crystal Palace star as final piece of three winger transfer shortlist revealed
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is the latest winger to emerge on Rangers' transfer radar Rangers are reportedly keen on a move for Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi – as their drive to add quality in the wide positions ramps up. The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Sheffield United, scoring seven and assisting two as the Blades made the playoff final but narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League. Remaining in the Championship appears to have torpedoed their chances of signing him permanently and that has opened the door for Russell Martin to make a move. He's now back at Palace and the Scottish Sun say Rangers are chasing a deal to bring him to Ibrox. Palace reportedly want £10m to sell him this summer and it's unclear as yet whether Rangers plan to negotiate over a permanent deal or bring him in on an initial loan – though meeting anything close to that price tag may be contingent on securing major funds for Hamza Igamane first. It comes as the new Ibrox owners shift their focus to strengthening in the wide positions with reports today suggesting they plan to sign up to three wingers in the coming weeks. Thelo Aasgaard was signed today but he is viewed more as a number ten by Martin. As things stand, the only wide options available to Russell Martin are Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo and Ross McCausland – a thin pool that lacks the proven, consistent quality the club are seeking in those positions. Reports in Brazil today claimed Rangers are interested in 'Brazilian magician' Weslley Patati, a versatile attacker who primarily plays off the right wing. As things stand, the only wide options available to Russell Martin are Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo and Ross McCausland – a thin pool that lacks the proven, consistent quality the club are seeking in those positions. Patati and Rak-Sakyi may well be two of them, while they've also been linked with Como's Samuel Ballet this week and the 24-year-old could be another on the way. Rangers are also closing in on deals for defenders Conor Coady and Nasser Djiga as they beef things up at both ends of the pitch.

Rangers chasing £10m-rated English Premier League winger, 22, as Russell Martin steps up Ibrox recruitment drive
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS are chasing Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. The 22-year-old is back with the Eagles after a loan spell at Sheffield United last season. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 4 Jesurun Rak-Sakyi of Crystal Palace Credit: Getty 4 He spent last season on loan at Sheffield United Credit: Getty Blades chiefs were planning to buy Rak-Sakyi if they had won promotion to the Premier League. But they lost out in the play-off final to Sunderland and the England under-21 cap has returned to his parent club. Palace are looking for around £10million for Rak-Sakyi - but Rangers may look to loan him. Ibrox bosses could also attempt to get him on a permanent deal for a lower fee. Gers boss Russell Martin is looking for a winger to replace Vaclav Cerny after his loan ended. Rak-Sakyi came through the ranks at Chelsea before joining Palace in 2019. He had a productive loan spell at Charlton before shining for Sheffield United last season. But he's unlikely to feature for Palace in the Premier League and looks set to move on. Gers have already added Max Aarons, Lyall Cameron, Emmanuel Fernandez, Joe Rothwell and Thelo Aasgaard this summer. Wolves stopper Nasser Djiga is also in talks over a loan, while Leicester City defender Conor Coady is edging closer to an Ibrox move. New Rangers chiefs Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe's first interview But Martin still wants more - with several players set to depart before the end of the window. Lille are in talks over a megabucks deal for Hamza Igamane and AEK Athens want Cyriel Dessers. Fringe men like Rabbi Matondo, Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies could also be shipped out. Speaking on Friday, Martin said: 'We are working hard to make sure we get the right ones. 4 'The ones already in the building we are so pleased about and the ones we think will come in in the next week or two we'll be so pleased with them. 'We still need some help, but we are all aware of that. 'We can't be in a rush and just sign the ones we're not too sure about. 'We have to go after the ones we really want. We have to look at character first. 'Can you come here and add to us as a group in terms of your behaviour, the way you train, the way you work, who you are as a human being? 4 'Playing for this football club won't be for everyone so character first then talent after. 'We want to get both. 'We're at a disadvantage because we have these early European qualifiers. Kevin is calling guys who are still on the beach. 'We are waiting for things to happen so it's not a lack of willingness. Everyone is working so hard. 'The ones we have brought in so far, great. But there will be more.'
