According to the New Straits Times, Rangers are showing interest in Johor Darul Ta’zim’s Arif Aiman Hanapi ahead of the January transfer window.
After making an impression in the AFC Champions League Elite, the 22-year-old, who is regarded as one of Asia’s hottest talents, has been added to the Light Blues’ radar, according to a story published in the Malaysian newspaper’s print version on Sunday, November 10, page 45.
According to the source, a deal involving the Scottish powerhouses would be imminent as early as the January transfer window.
Rangers want to sign Arif Aiman Hanapi
Aiman’s ability to play a variety of attacking positions is one of his main advantages, however he has mostly played down the right side this season.
This is intriguing because Vaclay Cerny has established himself at Ibrox, scoring six goals and dishing out five assists in 17 appearances this season.
Whether Rangers will pursue their interest in Aiman is still up in the air because the right side of the attack is arguably their only current worry.
The Malaysian international, however, might be available for a significantly lower fee and end up being a steal because he plays for an Asian club.
The fact that the team is searching the world for talent in an effort to move past their dismal start to the season is also heartening.
According to the Daily Mail, Rangers are also major fans of FCSB midfielder Darius Olaru.
