Rangers eye late transfer swoop as £1.2m-rated player tells club he wants to leave - report

Rangers want to secure the services of Anderlecht midfielder Kristian Arnstad ahead of the transfer deadline, according to the Scottish Sun.

The newspaper reported via its website on 27 August that the 20-year-old has already informed the Belgian club he wants to leave.

It’s understood that Gers will have to fork out £1.2million to sign the Norwegian before the 30 August deadline.

Rangers must be cautious about the Kristian Arnstad transfer

The club’s pursuit of Arnstad must be driven by a clear strategy, especially given their current position behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

Signing Arnstad for £1.2million represents a decent investment, not just financially but in terms of squad integration and future planning.

Rangers need players who can immediately bolster their starting lineup, offering a quality that can shift the dynamics in Old Firm derbies and crucial league matches.

Arnstad’s potential to be a game-changer is crucial and he must not only fit into the team’s tactical setup but also elevate it.

Given the competitive nature of the league and the necessity to close the gap with Celtic, any new signing, particularly one like Arnstad, should come with the expectation of being a first-team regular, capable of influencing games decisively.

At this stage, the club cannot afford squad fillers as they need players who can alter the course of their season, making every signing a calculated move towards reclaiming the title.
