Ridvan Yilmaz's Rangers transfer signals Gio van Bronckhorst tactical tweak as Ibrox boss faces Borna Barisic dilemma

Incoming Ridvan Yilmaz could prove to be the natural successor for Borna Barisic in Gio van Bronckhorst's revamped Rangers with a deal set to cross the line.

The Light Blues have been in talks with Besiktas over a deal for the 21-year-old, but the Turkish club's £6m asking price had proved a sticking point. However, the Turkish international looks set to complete his move to the Europa League finalists with an a medical around the corner for the full back, with a deal in the region of £5.5million with additional sell-on clauses set to be rubber stamped.

He’d become the Dutchman's seventh summer signing with the club moving quickly to fill the void left by Calvin Bassey who departed Ibrox for Ajax. The claims in Turkey suggest that the player has left the Besiktas training camp in Spain as he prepares to pen a deal through to the summer of 2027.
