Clement closing in on signing dream Sima partner at Rangers

Rangers have made an offer to sign a current Benfica defender

After the Christmas break, Glasgow Rangers will play Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup on January 20 to resume domestic play.

Even if no game is simple,

Philippe Clement may want to experiment with his starting lineup and give certain bench players a chance against a team that is now fourth in League Two.

Now that the team is still in the running to win three trophies before the end of the season,

the manager has an obligation to add a few more players to strengthen his roster.

The first team squad needs immediate attention in a few areas, chief among them being the left-back position.

In light of this, have the Light Blues recently made progress in acquiring a new player for this position?

Rangers’ pursuit of a fresh left-back

Although the Gers will need a new striker and central midfielder this month,

adding another left-sided defender is still essential given the circumstances surrounding Borna Barisic and Ridvan Yilmaz.

Yilmaz may be prepared to leave Ibrox,

but the story may continue into the last few days of the transfer season because Clement has said they will only sell for the best offer.

Moreover, because of his contract ending,

Barisic may be close to leaving Rangers this month or at the conclusion of the season.

Leeds United has recently shown interest in the Croatian defender, and it appears that his six-year tenure in Glasgow is drawing to an end.

TEAMtalk has provided an update on their hunt for a new defender, stating that the Ibrox team is reportedly close to landing Benfica left-back David Jurasek this month.

According to dailysport news,

the 23-year-old defender is eager to transfer to Scotland and the Gers have made a “good offer” for him.

A swap may happen as soon as next week.

This seems to be the most significant move Clement has made for a left-sided defender,

despite a few names being mentioned in recent weeks.

It will be intriguing to watch the events over the next few days.

Jurasek played brilliantly for Slavia Prague in his native country,

and if he could return to that level of play,

he might be a great asset for Rangers,

even though he hasn’t had the best of seasons with the Portuguese club.
How Rangers could gain from David Jurasek

The 23-year-old might benefit from a fresh start since he has only made 12 appearances for Benfica since moving from the Czech Republic last summer.

Jurasek has only started two league games this season,

but it doesn’t stop him from averaging 1.2 crucial passes per game, creating one major opportunity, and averaging 41 touches per game.
