Rangers appear to have missed out on a former transfer target, with Brazilian playmaker Evander on the brink of joining Portland Timbers in the MLS.
The 24-year old, who plays for FC Midtjylland in Denmark, is reportedly set to join the Oregon side in January for around $10million, which would smash the club's transfer record.
American journalist Tom Bogert reports that the deal is almost done, with only minor details and a medical still to go. Evander has been in fine form for the Danish Superliga outfit this season, and has already netted seven goals in 17 appearances this season. The former Vasco da Gama youth graduate has also caught the eye in the Europa League, and currently tops the charts for assists in the competition so far this season with five. Evander has established himself as one of the top players in the Danish top flight, and has scored 50 goals in 167 appearances for the club since joining in 2018.
