Philippe Clement is keen on signing a new winger as the Ibrox outfit aim to return to the summit of the SPFL.

Via the Daily Record, Gouveia said: “I’m here every day waiting for opportunities. Sometimes it doesn’t happen and the frustration is huge.”

Tiago Gouveia seemingly leaves door open to join Rangers

Gouveia’s comments regarding his frustration at Benfica and his openness to new opportunities could be seen as positive news for Gers.

His willingness to consider a move away from Benfica suggests he’s not fully settled in his current role, which might make him more receptive to a transfer, particularly to a club like Rangers where he could potentially play a more significant role.

For the Ibrox outfit, this means they might have a more motivated player on their hands, someone eager to prove himself, which could translate into better performances on the pitch.

Moreover, Gouveia’s acknowledgement of his situation indicates a level of discontent that could lower Benfica’s asking price or make negotiations smoother, given his desire for regular football.

This scenario aligns well with Gers’ strategy under Clement to bolster their squad with players who are not only talented but also hungry for first-team action, potentially making Gouveia an excellent fit for the team’s ambitions in the SPFL.

With Abdallah Sima no longer an option, signing the 23-year-old makes a lot of sense.

In other Rangers news, a club are in talks to sign a Gers player with another Ibrox exit on the cards before the deadline.
