Rangers transfer news as Hugo Cuypers update emerges at Ibrox

Hugo Cuypers of KAA Gent is a striker who Rangers are interested in, but Sacha Tavolieri reports that he will not be moving to Ibrox

this month despite the deadline of February 1.

despite the Ibrox club’s appreciation for him.

Cuypers has been in sensational form in all competitions this season, scoring 17 goals in 34 appearances,

including 10 goals in the Europa Conference League.

“Hugo Cuypers won’t join Rangers,” he posted on X.

“The Scottish club is grateful for the striker’s profile from KAA Gent, but he won’t be moving there next,” I’ve been informed.

This is one name that has come out of the blue, with the last week of the transfer window

always throwing out some surprises at Ibrox.

It does fit the profile of what Rangers want though with another new striker potentially following

the likes of Mohamed Diomande, Jefte and Oscar Cortes to Govan.

Since he spent time in Belgium, Philippe Clement will be familiar with Cuypers, and he is the first name we have seen as a possible

replacement for Lawrence Shankland as a striker.

That simply strengthens the ties to Shankland, though, as Cuypers appears to be off the table.

This update further confirms that Clement and Nils Koppen are searching for another number nine,

so this is definitely one to keep an eye on in the coming days. Go ahead and do it.
