Rangers want to sell player to sign £500k hotshot in January – reports:

Groningen would want a large chunk of Kevin van Veen’s wages covered if they were to let him join Rangers or any other Scottish club in January on loan, according to the Daily Record.

The newspaper reported in its print edition [27 December, pg 45] that any top side in the Scottish Premiership would likely need to sell a striker first to sign him.

The Dutch team would want to recoup as much of the £500,000 they spent to sell him permanently, with Van Veen currently in Scotland ahead of January, where he scored 29 goals last season.

It comes after the Scottish Daily Mail reported [27 December, pg 69] that Rangers had made contact to sign Van Veen with the door wide open for it to happen.

Rangers currently have Cyriel Dessers, Kemar Roofe and Danilo as their main striking options, with the possibility of selling any of those unlikely as things stand.

Not happening?

Roofe would be the name that jumps out as someone who could potentially be sold, but with his injury record, who would jump at that chance right now?

The Jamaican international scores some huge goals too, and is liked by practically every manager that comes through the doors at Auchenhowie and Ibrox.

So, would he be sold to bring in a struggling 32-year-old? Yes, he has been proven in Scotland before but that doesn’t mean he will just hit the ground running immediately, so it could be a real risk.

James Bisgrove has put together his transfer team at Ibrox finally with the help of Philippe Clement, and all eyes will be on Nils Koppen and his groundwork ahead of his first window.

Will Van Veen be high on that list? It appears as though eyes may be elsewhere with the potential sale needing to happen first, it just doesn’t make too much sense right now.
