Josh Maja to Rangers transfer roadblock removed in honest Bordeaux chief reveal as Morgan Whittaker door opens

Rangers boss Michael Beale has welcomed a host of new recruits into Ibrox this summer and his bid to bolster the frontline is far from over.

The Light Blues are closing in on striker Cyriel Dessers, who's been a long-term target for the Scottish Premiership title hopefuls as the manager looks to build a squad capable of dethroning Celtic, as well as reaching the coveted Champions League group stage. The Nigerian will join Abdallah Sima and Sam Lammers already in the building as a part of an extensive attacking options revamp. Jose Cifuentes and Danilo also remain on the Ibrox agenda and, with the likes of Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos leaving the club in the summer, fans are keen to see more firepower arrive in Govan.

Josh Maja has been touted as a Rangers target and would is available on a Bosman with his Bordeaux contract expiring. He now appears unlikely to stick around in the south of France with the club missing out on a return to Ligue 1. A one year extension would have been triggered automatically had the fallen French giants returned to the top flight.
