Rangers are in talks with Stade Rennais over a deal for talented youngster Matthis Abline , according to reports in France.
19-year-old Abline has been in the first-team picture at Rennes and had a run of substitute appearances in the first-half of last season. Minutes were hard to come by as the season wore on though and he went on loan to Le Havre in Ligue 2 - where he scored an impressive six goals in 19 appearances.
A talented all-round striker, he remains highly-rated in France and is under contract until 2025. But it's claimed in his homeland that Rangers have opened talks to bring him to Ibrox, where he would provide further cover for Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe and new striker Antonio Colak. As things stand details about the deal are scarce but a loan with an option to buy, similar to the one that took James Sands to Ibrox last season, looks the most likely option.
