Rangers could now see Jonathan Panzo move elsewhere with Cardiff City and Vitesse Arnhem now interested in the defender.
The Gers have made a couple of defensive additions this summer alongside a raft of attacking options.
Right back Dujon Sterling has come in from Chelsea whilst veteran centre back Leon Balogun has returned to Ibrox.
Both have come in on free transfers with some Rangers fans looking for the club to spend some money on new defenders.
Ben Davies hasn’t totally convinced everybody and that has resulted in speculation surrounding a couple of left-footed centre backs.
Arsenal’s Auston Trusty has been linked but is now set for Sheffield United whilst Jonathan Panzo has been a popular rumour.
Nottingham Forest defender Panzo worked under Michael Beale in the Chelsea ranks just like Sterling and gas been heavily linked with Rangers.
The Daily Record reported way back in March that Rangers were looking at Panzo during his time on loan at Coventry City.
Reports from the Daily Mail in July suggested that Panzo was on the verge of signing for Rangers, but that hasn’t happened.
Rangers may or may not make a push for Panzo in the final weeks of the transfer window, but they will face major competition now.
Rangers target Jonathan Panzo attracting interest
The Athletic report that Panzo is now being targeted by two clubs after interest from Rangers ‘came to nothing’.
It’s stated that Championship side Cardiff City are interested in signing Panzo, as are Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem.
The report claims that Panzo ‘could be the next to leave’ Forest this summer as they look to offload players.
A number of former Chelsea youth players have turned out for Vitesse over the years, including Armando Broja, Mason Mount, Dominic Solanke and Lewis Baker.
Panzo may now follow suit with Vitesse keen to bring the 22-year-old to the Netherlands.
Cardiff can offer another season of Championship football after that spell with Coventry City, but settling down elsewhere may be appealing.
If Rangers still want Panzo, then there needs to be a swift approach or the defender will inevitably end up going elsewhere.
