Steven Gerrard’s Rangers are interested in signing Sekou Gassama from Valladolid in the January transfer window, according to TMW.

It has been reported by the Italian news outlet that Rangers have already made an offer of €3 million (£2.71 million) for the 25-year-old forward.

The report has claimed of interest in the Senegalese from German club Hertha Berlin as well, with the forward having joined CF Fuenlabrada in Spain’s second tier on loan from Valladolid in the January transfer window.

Gassama actually joined Valladolid on a permanent contract from Almeria in January 2020 before being immediately moved to CF Fuenlabrad on loan until the end of the season.
