Rangers linked with striker Fofana - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s latest gossip roundup says Rangers may look to France for short-term cover up front, with Lens striker Rayan Fofana, 20, mentioned as a possible loan option while Youssef Chermiti is injured. The item attributes that possibility to the Scottish Sun and frames it as one of several transfer ideas circulating around the club.

The same roundup says Rangers are close to agreeing a move for Girona winger Kim Min-Su, which would activate an £8.5m release clause for the 20-year-old South Korea international and lead to a medical on Monday, according to the Daily Record. If completed, that would represent a notable outlay and add another young attacking option to the squad.

Celtic are also featured prominently. BBC Sport cites reports that they are in talks over Slovan Liberec midfielder Ermin Mahmic, with Sky Sports and the Daily Record both linking the 21-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international to a fee in the region of £7m plus add-ons. Separately, Celtic are said to be close to a season-long loan for Chelsea left-back Landon Emenalo and are considering right-back options because Alistair Johnston faces a lengthy spell out, with Southampton’s Yuki Sugawara named as a player they have been made aware is available.

The roundup also notes interest in Hearts striker Claudio Braga from Lyon and Trabzonspor, though he is said to be in no rush to leave. As a gossip digest, the piece collects reported transfer leads rather than confirmed deals, giving an early picture of how Scottish clubs may address squad needs before the window closes.
