Burning Rangers transfer updates Matija Frigan claim catches fire and the truth about Dor Turgeman is made clear

The Croatian striker scored 14 goals in 41 matches for Belgian side Westerlo last season Westerlo frontman Matija Frigan is being tracked by Rangers and we can reveal a move for Dor Turgeman remains on. Russell Martin is only in the door at Ibrox but knows his squad will need a bit of revamp in order to compete on all fronts next season. ‌ Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises have pledged a £20million investment into helping Martin and new sporting director Kevin Thelwell in football department, and links with several players around Europe are already starting to swirl. ‌ Record Sport revealed Rangers are in the hunt for £4 million-rated Israeli striker Turgeman. Despite reports in his homeland claiming an Ibrox bid had been rejected, talks are still ongoing with Maccabi Tel Aviv as Gers try to land the 21-year-old hit-man. Record Sport also broke the news over the weekend that talks with Leicester City have begun over a potential deal for England international Conor Coady. The former Liverpool and Everton defender will command a high salary but could be willing to accept a pay cut following the Foxes relegation from the Premier League. And another name who has been floated on the rumour mill is Croatian striker Frigan, who according to 24sata, is under Rangers' watchful eye. The Croat - who arrived in Belgium from Rijeka for around £4.6million two years ago - netted 14 goals in 41 matches last season. ‌ The 22-year-old has represented his country at U21 level and was called up for the Croatian senior team in August 2023. Gers fans will be dreaming of a permanent deal for wide man Vaclav Cerny following his successful loan spell last season. However, the Czech Republic international is also said to be wanted by Turkish outfit Trabzonspor, who are reportedly willing to pay £9million for the Wolfsburg player. ‌ A raft of players are also expected to leave Rangers this summer in order to balance the books. Defender Robin Propper has been heavily linked with a return to FC Twente less than 12 months on from his £2.5million switch to Ibrox. ‌ New boss Martin has hinted that he will be giving every member of the squad a chance to prove themselves under the new regime but the futures of the likes of Rabbi Matondo, Ben Davies and Kieran Dowell are very much up in the air. Number nine Cyriel Dessers is said to be target for AEK Athens and Olympiacos in Greece but recently declared his happiness with the Light Blues. Speaking to SportsBoom, he said: "I still have two years left on my contract with Rangers. It's a fantastic club, and I'm happy there. "When you score that number of goals, it's normal for other teams to show interest. I've seen the links with Olympiacos, but I don't know anything specific about that. "These kinds of rumours are normal, but for now, I'm staying focused and looking forward to enjoying my holiday in a few weeks."
