Rangers ‘expected to bid for highly-rated defender', 22, valued at over £5million
He's already began to establish himself for his national team. TRANSFER TALK Rangers 'expected to bid for highly-rated defender', 22, valued at over £5million RANGERS are reportedly considering a bid for 22-year-old defender Kevin Boma. The centre-back has attracted the attention of multiple clubs in Europe, including Gers. 1 Kevin Boma in action for Estoril against Benfica Credit: Getty Boma has six caps for Togo but was born in France and currently plays for Estoril in Portugal who are managed by former Hearts boss Ian Cathro. He joined the Portuguese club for a fee of around £210,000 last year and has played 27 times in the league this season, scoring once. According to Foot Mercato, Rangers are expected to make an offer for the defender in the upcoming transfer window. But other suitors may have more to spend, including Union Berlin of the Bundesliga and Swiss Super League champions Basel. He is reportedly valued at between £5m and £6m by Estoril. Boma has earned nominations to the Portuguese team of the week several times and was first capped by Togo in 2024 whilst signed with Rodez, just before his move to Estoril was completed. He spent two years with Rodez in Ligue 2 in France and prior to that he was on the books at Angers and Tours. Boma spent the majority of his youth career with Stade Poitevan before moving to Guingamp and then Tours. Rangers signed Raphael Fernandes from Lille on loan in the January transfer window but he has barely kicked a ball in the Premiership. Neraysho Kasanwirjo also looks likely to return to Feyenoord once his loan expires. David Friel explains why Sean Dyche has what it takes to be the next Rangers manager The main starters in the centre of defence for the Light Blues this term have been John Souttar, Robin Propper and Leon Balogun. Dujon Sterling and James Tavernier have occasionally deputised at centre-back, either due to injuries and suspensions or when playing a back three under interim boss Barry Ferguson. The only other centre-back with first team experience is Leon King, who has spent the second half of the season on loan at Queen's Park in the Championship after rarely featuring under Philippe Clement.
