Rangers pursue Hampus Skoglund as replacement for departing Tavernier

Summary

Rangers are in negotiations with Hampus Skoglund's representatives regarding a potential transfer this summer. The 22-year-old defender, who currently plays for Hammarby and has represented Sweden at the U21 level, boasts 80 appearances in competitive matches. Following James Tavernier's departure, the club is exploring options to bolster the right-back position. Skoglund has recently signed an extension with Hammarby until 2029, complicating negotiations as interest from other clubs like Schalke and FSV Mainz 05 may drive up his valuation, reportedly set at £2 million.
