‘Not Sure Another Winger Is Required’ ‘I Doubt This Is Even Real’ Fans Question Rangers’ Interest In 4.2M Rated Gabonese Ace

Rangers are one of four clubs interested in signing Saint-Etienne winger Denis Bouanga, according to reports in the French media.

The Europa League finalists have been joined by Los Angeles FC, Anderlecht and Club Brugge in pursuing the Gabonese international.

MLS side LAFC are believed to have already tabled a €3.5m (£3m) bid for Bouanga, but Saint-Etienne are keen to offload him for €5m (£4.2m) despite the player having less than a year left on his contract. Fans on Twitter are rather sceptical about the Gers’ interest, considering the club has already recruited the likes of Rabbi Matondo and Tom Lawrence this summer:

As one supporter has suggested, there is a possibility that Bouanga is being eyed as a potential replacement for Ryan Kent, although there could be another explanation.

The 27-year-old may well have been a target for Rangers earlier in the transfer window before they cooled their interest in the player.
