Rangers are in pole position for defensive midfielder Ryan Fosso from Sturm Graz. The Scottish club is trying to close for the player, but Levante has also made an offer for the 23-year-old, while Torino are reportedly interested in him. Rangers are also waiting for a response for Jens Hjerto-Dahl. The 20-year-old Norwegian midfielder from Tromso would have preferred to move to Rangers, but Welsh club Cardiff City presented an improved offer of 7.8 million euros, of which 6.2 million euros plus 1.6 million euros in bonuses. The offer is expected to be accepted by Tromso, unless there are minor adjustments. Rangers' interest in Hjerto-Dahl appears to have waned, however, as the club is eyeing other midfield targets. One of these targets would be Amario Cozier-Duberry, Brighton's attacking winger. Rangers are understood to be planning to formalize their offer for the 21-year-old after Anderlecht saw a €5 million offer for the player rejected. Hull City, Paris FC, Red Bull Salzburg and West Ham are also reportedly interested in Cozier-Duberry. Image Rangers manager Derek McInnes has said he expects two new signings to be made official ahead of Sunday's friendly against West Ham. Two more signings could arrive before the start of the season, i.e. on 6 October, when Rangers face Dundee United away. As for Celtic, it appears there is still a chance of signing AEK Athens left-back James Penrice. Penrice, who is a former Hearts player, would be willing to return to Scotland, but would be aware that he would be in a reserve role at Celtic, given that Kieran Tierney is the starter. Another name for Celtic would be Will Ferry, Dundee United left-back. Ferry is a player that Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is reportedly considering to strengthen the left flank of the defence. In other transfer news, Japan's Daizen Maeda is reportedly set to move to Ipswich Town for £8m, while Celtic are looking to sign 22-year-old Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur.

What happens now

Rangers are expected to formalize their offer for Ryan Fosso, while the response from Sturm Graz is expected shortly. Furthermore, the Scottish club is also monitoring other targets, such as Amario Cozier-Duberry, to complete their attacking department. With a friendly against West Ham approaching, it is expected that Rangers may announce new signings before the start of the Scottish Premiership.
