Todd Cantwell is set to become the first signing of Michael Beale's Rangers era - and they are looking to combine him with Standard Liege’s Nicolas Raskin.
The Rangers manager wants to launch his January transfer window shopping into top gear and is preparing a third bid for Swansea City winger Morgan Whittaker. A fee has been agreed with English Championship side Norwich City alongside terms for playmaker Cantwell, who is out of contract at the end of this season. He has made his way north to have a medical and put the finishing touches on becoming a Rangers player, with Beale going out his way to meet the 24-year-old and convince him that Scotland is the place to be.
Business is not done there and with St Johnstone the opposition at McDiarmid Park this weekend on Scottish Cup fourth round duty, Liege midfielder Raskin is another player that Rangers have made their interest in known. Reports in Belgium claimed that they were in “advanced talks’ for the 21-year-old who they were linked with last summer, but weren’t interested at that point.
