If Rangers are to replace Alfredo Morelos with the prolific Michael Olunga, they will face competition from a familiar foe.
The 29-year old Kenya international captain has played all over the world, scoring goals everywhere he has been in the process.
Now, according to a report on Africa media outlet Pulse Sports, Rangers are said to be competing with Galatasaray for Michael Olunga’s signature.
The 6ft 4inch towering striker has just finished the Qatari Stars league as top scorer for the second consecutive season, leading his team to a treble in the process.
Olunga would be the most clinical hitman to arrive at Ibrox for sometime and, when you look at his statistics, there is a lot to like, Brazilian giants Corinthians are also said to be interested.
Goals, assists, link up play and can lead the line on his own.
Exactly the type of number nine that Michael Beale needs.
Michael Olunga has good pedigree for those that might doubt signing a player from Qatar.
He was Japan’s player of the year before heading to the Middle East and we know all too well how players from the J-League have adapted to the SPFL.
Olunga easily outscored Kyogo Furuhasi in the J-League during his time there too.
With his contract set to expire at the end of June, Olunga would be a smart piece of business and would tick the box of experience without being a veteran.
Having played in Spain, Sweden and Japan as well as nearly 21 goals in 50 international caps, including appearances at major tournaments for Kenya, Olunga has an impressive CV.
Between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, we seem to either be competing for the same players or they are interested in signing ours.
Hopefully, Olunga is one that we can win the race for.
