Rangers are set to complete their second signing of the January transfer window despite early doubts surrounding Tuur Rommens’ move to Ibrox.
The Gers confirmed the arrival of Tochi Chukwuani from Austrian side Sturm Graz on Sunday, with the midfielder joining for a reported £4 million on a contract running until June 2029. Chukwuani could make his debut as Danny Rohl’s side take on Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup on Friday night.
Rangers are hopeful Rommens will also be officially confirmed by then, with a fresh update emerging on the progress of the defender’s medical.
Rommens medical progressing smoothly
Reports on Sunday suggested Rommens had begun his medical ahead of a £2.6 million transfer from Belgian outfit Westerlo. The left-back has already agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal that would keep him at Ibrox until 2029.
A lack of official confirmation led to some concern among supporters that the deal may have stalled. However, journalist Andy Newport has since reassured fans that the transfer is progressing as planned, with the move expected to be finalised at some point on Tuesday.
Rangers planning further January business
Even once the Rommens deal is completed, Rangers are expected to remain active in the market. The Belgian Under-21 international could be unveiled as a Gers player within hours as recruitment continues ahead of a crucial title push.
Rohl’s side sit just three points behind Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership — albeit having played a game more — and are keen to add further quality to the squad before the window closes.
Rangers have also been linked with DAC Dunajská Streda winger Damir Redzic as they look to bolster their attacking options. However, competition for the Hungarian is fierce, with RB Salzburg, Olympiacos and Copenhagen all reportedly monitoring his situation.
With the transfer deadline set for 2 February, Rangers appear poised for a busy few weeks as they look to strengthen on multiple fronts.
