Rangers agree deal for Venezuela striker Kelsy - gossip

What the report says

Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Portland Timbers forward Kevin Kelsy, according to BBC Sport’s roundup of football transfer gossip. The 22-year-old Venezuela striker is reported to be a key target for the Scottish Premiership club, with the move described as agreed rather than completed. The article does not say whether personal terms have been finalised or when an announcement might follow.

The same gossip bulletin says Rangers winger Djeidi Gassama has attracted bids from two Serie A clubs, while Celtic are facing competition for Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis, who has also been linked with a possible move to Red Bull Salzburg. BBC Sport also notes that Celtic’s asking price for Japan midfielder Reo Hatate has fallen, although no new fee was given.

The roundup includes other transfer-related updates involving Scottish clubs and players. Bologna and Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson was said to have been open to a Rangers move this summer, Dundee United have reportedly bid for Falkirk midfielder Brad Spencer, and Aberdeen striker Kusini Yengi is expected to return to Japan on loan after a spell at Cerezo Osaka last season. As this is a gossip digest, the items are presented as reports from other outlets rather than confirmed club announcements.
