Currently, Philippe Clement is occupied with going over several names that the Rangers recruitment staff gave him in January.
After a turbulent first half of the season, Rangers manager Patrick Stewart has promised to add up to two players to the team, but he has the power to veto any transaction at Ibrox.
With Cyriel Dessers’ future still very much in doubt and some talk about the Gers possibly bringing in a replacement, the Rangers striker spot is a hot topic of discussion.
Joe Gelhardt, a striker for Leeds United, won’t be the choice if Rangers decide to bolster their front line.
Joe Gelhardt is being pursued by Hull City.
Joe Gelhardt was linked to several teams before the January transfer market opened, including Rangers.
In fact, with the 22-year-old Scouse forward fighting for playing time at Leeds United, up to seven clubs were linked to a move for Gelhardt.
However, with rumours that Joe Gelhardt is having a physical with the Tigers in preparation for a short-term loan move, it suddenly looks as though Hull City has gotten ahead of the competition.
According to Hull Live, Leeds United has officially confirmed the transfer, and Gelhardt may be included in Ruben Selles’ team for this weekend’s trip to Millwall.
Hull City’s bid for the long-term Rangers target was turned down.
Rangers may be on the verge of losing out on more English Championship players in January in addition to Joe Gelhardt.
After two years of constant connections to Rangers, Burnley has reportedly made a bid for Plymouth Argyle forward Morgan Whittaker.
However, Burnley is not the only team hoping to sign the 24-year-old attacker in January.
This transfer window is anticipated to be busy for Hull City, and in addition, Joe Gelhardt has reportedly had a bid put out for Whittaker with Burnley.
