The development of an update regarding Mohamed Diomande means that Rangers will undoubtedly have to

postpone their pursuit of Hearts forward Lawrence Shankland.

Earlier this week, the Gers and FC Nordsjaelland came to an agreement on a deal for the midfield player, who was

reportedly valued at a very modest £1.5 million.

The source that initially revealed the transfer news, B.T, however, released an update on Tuesday (January 23) that

included a significantly higher sum. According to the Danish tabloid, Rangers would instead spend up to £4.5

million on Ivorian midfielder Diomande.

For a player who has played his whole four-year professional career in Denmark’s Superliga, that is a very significant

investment. Diomande appears to be a very gifted player, and it is hoped that he will strengthen the Gers midfield for

many years to come. Regarding the immediate effects of his arrival, the Rangers will most likely not go back and buy

Shankland for the same price this month. Although it’s unclear exactly how much Hearts are asking for Shankland,

he’s reportedly valued between £3.5 million and £5 million. Hearts are somewhat forced to deal with Shankland’s

expiring contract at the end of the following season, although

he is still a proven goal scorer in this division. It is therefore not impossible to pay more than £4 million,

but it is unlikely that those monies will be easily accessible during the January window.

The Gers were anticipated to tighten their purse strings during the winter after a

significant player turnover last summer. It would be shocking to spend nearly

£10 million on two players after that, but it would also be a big testament to Philippe Clement’s talent.

It appears more plausible that the Gers have chosen to prioritize the long term over the

near term during this window. Although supporters are clamoring for a striker to join the team,

it may not sit well with them, but it was not the worst choice made.

The Gers are correct to move on and perhaps return to the negotiation table in the summer if Hearts are playing

hardball. For the time being, supporters should be pleased that we have acquired Diomande,

a gifted player who might potentially have a greater influence than Shankland ever would.
