Michael Beale has hinted that Rangers will look to sign Bayern Munich loanee Malik Tillman permanently - branding the playmaker "the future" of the club.
The 20-year-old has showed his best form at Ibrox since Beale stepped into the hot seat and looks set to return from injury when Rangers face off against Dundee United, and will look to continue to impress the boss with the club holding a £5million option for a permanent deal should the Germans decides to sell him this summer. Bayern could offer the USA international a second chance in the first-team following Thomas Tuchel's appointment.
The long-term futures of Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry could also play a factor, with the duo tipped with a move away from Bayern Munich this summer could open a door for Tillman to make a bid for a starting spot in pre-season. But Beale appears to have made his intentions clear over a permanent transfer.
