Approach made: Rangers now offered chance to sign “creative” new player for Clement – report

After losing in the Old Firm, Rangers currently trail Celtic by eight points with two games remaining.

With the three points, they gave Brendan Rodgers the lead in the title fight.

There is still a lot of room for change,

and Philippe Clement will want to welcome some players who can define the season.

The former AS Monaco manager has already signed Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Fabio Silva to a loan,

which may turn out to be a wise move.

Rangers might potentially welcome a dynamic midfield player back to the Premier League.

News about Rangers transfers

Rangers’ season might be made or broken during the January transfer window.

If they do it correctly, the Scottish Premiership title race may go their way again.

If it’s done incorrectly, though,

Celtic might easily win the title three times in a row and reaffirm their dominance under Rodgers.

This is the first opportunity for fans at Ibrox to witness Clement’s transfer strategy in action and the kinds of players he may try to entice.

La Derniere Heure reports that Brighton & Hove Albion has made contact with Rangers on the possibility of signing Steven Alzate this month.

The midfield player is now on loan at Standard Liege,

and it has been stated that Clement has been monitoring the Belgium Pro League in order to bring in other players.

The Seagulls are apparently eager to cash in on Alzate’s contract,

possibly shortening his loan transfer to give Rangers a significant boost,

given his deal expires this summer.

The Brighton midfielder, who is now recuperating from an injury back in England,

is definitely someone to watch.

“Creative” Alzate might breathe new energy into the Rangers

Rangers will need to take any advantage they can over Celtic in a fiercely contested title battle,

whether it be through internal possibilities or the January transfer market. Alzate,

a dynamic midfielder, might especially give them a boost going forward.

Right now, Clement only has Todd Cantwell who meets that requirement,

which could cause issues for the Gers in the event that the Belgian team experiences an injury crisis.

Alzate’s numbers are encouraging when it comes to creativity;

his 0.23 assists per 90 minutes places him in the 94th percentile when compared to midfielders in his position,

which could work in the Rangers’ favour if they decide to challenge for the title.

Before Alzate went on loan to Standard Liege, football writer Josh Bunting wrote the following on X:

Alzate might be someone Rangers want to keep an eye on as the weeks pass and they weigh their options;

considering his contract status and Brighton’s eagerness to cash in, a deal might not be too difficult.
