Rangers fans are now turning their attention to Oussama Targhalline, a 22-year-old midfielder from Le Havre, as reports indicate that the Ibrox club is closely monitoring his situation. Nils Koppen and Philippe Clement are keen to strengthen the Rangers squad, and Targhalline, who hails from Morocco, has emerged as a potential target. This interest comes alongside Rangers’ nearing deal for fellow Moroccan, FAR Rabat striker Hamza Igamane, suggesting a trend towards adding Moroccan talent to the Ibrox roster from Ligue 1.
While supporters delve into research on Targhalline, the recent addition to the Ibrox coaching staff might provide clues regarding the origins of this latest transfer speculation. The link between Rangers and Targhalline reportedly originates from reputable French publication L’Equipe.
According to the report, Le Havre is negotiating a new contract with Targhalline, whose current deal runs until 2025. However, the club faces a dilemma: either secure a deal now or risk losing the midfielder for free in the future. Rangers are among several clubs closely monitoring the situation, with the midfielder reportedly garnering significant admiration from the Scottish club, as well as interest from undisclosed clubs in France and Italy.
Complicating matters, unlike Hamza Igamane, whose potential move to Rangers has reportedly faced obstacles, Targhalline is also in contention for a call-up to the Moroccan U23 squad for the Olympic Games in Paris.
