Philippe Clement is currently busy reviewing a number of names handed to him by the Rangers recruitment team this January.
The Rangers manager has the right to veto any deal at Ibrox as Patrick Stewart pledges to bring up to two players into the squad after a tumultuous first half of the season.
The Rangers striker berth is a hot topic of debate with Cyriel Dessers’ future very much up in the air and some conversation around the Gers potentially bringing in a replacement.
But should Rangers look to reinforce their frontline, then it won’t be with Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt.
Hull City closing in on Joe Gelhardt
Rangers are one of a number of clubs who were linked to Joe Gelhardt heading into the January transfer window.
In fact, as many as seven clubs were linked with a move for Gelhardt with the 22-year-old Scouse forward struggling for minutes at Leeds United.
But now it appears that Hull City have stolen a march on the competition amid reports Joe Gelhardt is having a medical with the Tigers with a view to a short-term loan move.
Hull Live report that Leeds United have rubberstamped the transfer with Gelhardt potentially set to be a part of Ruben Selles’ squad for the trip to Millwall this weekend.
Hull City have bid rejected for long-term Rangers target
Joe Gelhardt isn’t the only English Championship talent that Rangers could be about to miss out on this January either.
Plymouth Argyle forward Morgan Whittaker has reportedly been the subject of a bid from Burnley after two years of consistent links to Rangers.
But it’s not just Burnley who are looking to bring the 24-year-old attacker to their club this January.
Hull City are expected to be busy this transfer window and on top of Joe Gelhardt have reportedly had a bid thrown out for Whittaker alongside Burnley.
