Rangers want to sign former West Ham United youngster Divine Mukasa but Newcastle United are trying to tempt him to Tyneside.
Gers fans have seen a number of new faces arrive for the senior squad with Michael Beale’s revolution well underway.
Rangers will continue to look for talents for the future though amid high hopes for the likes of Bailey Rice and Zak Lovelace.
Other young talents will be wanted at Rangers though and one prime target has emerged in recent days.
The Secret Scout reported last week that Divine Mukasa had visited both Rangers and Newcastle ahead of a possible move.
Mukasa is leaving West Ham United this summer and has been weighing up his future with Rangers right in the mix.
Newcastle United trying to tempt Divine Mukasa
The Daily Mail now report that Newcastle are ‘looking to convince’ Mukasa to join them over Rangers.
Mukasa has decided to leave West Ham after 10 years in their setup and is now a wanted man.
Newcastle have placed a keen focus on landing young talents for the future since Dan Ashworth’s arrival.
Scottish talents Jude Smith and Charlie McArthur have been lured to St James’ Park and the Magpies now hope to sign Mukasa too.
That’s not ideal for Rangers, but Michael Beale and co will hope to map out a pathway to first-team football down the line for the 15-year-old.
Who is Rangers target Divine Mukasa?
As just mentioned, Mukasa is only 15 and doesn’t even turn 16 until next month.
Primarily an attacking midfielder, Mukasa featured as West Ham won the Under-18 Premier League South.
Mukasa even scored a crucial goal to help West Ham beat Arsenal 2-0 and win the title in April.
Mukasa has now confirmed his departure from West Ham, announcing over the weekend that he is moving on.
An exciting talent with a huge future ahead of him, Mukasa would be a promising signings for Rangers but beating Newcastle won’t be easy.
