Jonathan Panzo is set to be the latest Rangers recruit to bolster Michael Beale's squad the summer.
Record Sport exclusively revealed that the England Under 21 international is nearing a £2.5million switch to Ibrox. He's worked with Beale before when the Londoner was on the academy coaching staff at Chelsea as Panzo was coming through the ranks. Now they are set to reunite as Beale seeks defensive back up after the departure of Filip Helander.
Panzo suffered Wembley heartbreak last month as Coventry City were denied a return to the English Premier League by Luton Town, who edged their playoff final. Panzo, who was on loan at the Sky Blues from Nottingham Forest, is now set to swap Nottingham Forest for Rangers as he moves on to a new challenge. It's likely Ross Wilson, now head of football operations at the City Ground, played a big part in the deal, having only departed Ibrox earlier this year and has a close relationship with Beale.
