Saturday's departure of Joe Aribo is primed to spark more incomings for Rangers as their transfer window suddenly roars into life.
The playmaker joins Southampton in a deal worth up to £10million, and a chunk of that cash will be reinvested straight into the first-team after the budget signings of Antonio Colak and Tom Lawrence. However one player they look have missed out on is Theo Bongonda , who is closing in on a €6m move to the UAE.
Reports in Belgium claim Rangers and the Abu Dhabi club were both prepared to meet Genk's asking price for the Congo international winger. But Bongonda made it clear he was only interested in accepting the money-spinning offer from the UAE and has jetted out to complete the deal. Rangers' renewed interest in free agent Lawrence emerged around the same time as reports linking them with Bongonda, and they seem to have settled on the Welshman instead, with the 28-year-old snubbing Sheffield United and Watford among others to head to Ibrox.
