Glasgow Rangers signed Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month and are now eyeing another striker to join them at Ibrox in the January transfer window.

They are one of several clubs waiting to sign winger Luca Langoni.
The Light Blues are already trying to sign the 21-year-old dynamo as Philipp Clement and Nils Koppen look to strengthen their squad before the deadline.

This means the Gers face stiff competition for his signature.
Rangers’ interest in Langoni could be particularly bad news for Scott Wright and his future at Ibrox, as the former Aberdeen striker could be moved further down the pecking order.
Scott Wright’s problems at Rangers The Scottish winger was close to a move to Turkish side Pendikspor last summer but has opted to remain at Gers, but remains a reliable attacking force for the club.
Has not proven itself as an option.
Wright played 34 games in all competitions for the Light Blues in the 2022/23 season under Michael Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst, contributing 0 goals and 2 assists.

4 The 26-year-old striker has made 15 appearances under Beale and Clement this season, scoring one goal and providing zero assists.
This means Wright has one goal and two assists in his last 49 games as a winger for Rangers since the start of last season.
Stats showing why Langoni is an upgrade to Wright Clement gets an upgrade on Scotland’s no-good player and securing Langoni’s contract opens the door for the former Aberdeen star to finally leave Ibrox there is a possibility.

18 league games – Demonstrated scoring ability for the team in professional games.
Described as a “revelation” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, Langoni scored three goals, one assist and created two “big chances” in this competition for Boca in the 2023 season.
Today’s Talent Luca Langoni Age: 19 Country: 🇦🇷 Club: Boca Juniors Position: LW/RW/SS Player Role: Inside Forward Strengths: Speed, acceleration, dribbling, technique, Ball Control, Movement, Sense, Agility Feet: Right Similar Player Type: Irving Lozano Potential: 8/10 — Football Talent Scout – Jacek Kulig (@FTalentScout) November 9, 2022 Total, Right Winger has played 45 games and provided an assist for the club’s first team, contributing 10 goals and two goals, which is nine more times than Wright, who has played four fewer games in the same period.
Primarily used as a right-winger, the Gers target could offer more play in the final third compared to the Light Blues’ current striker.
At 21, Langoni is five years younger than Wright, so he will have more potential and time to grow and improve over the next few years.
So Rangers’ interest in the Boca star is bad news for the Scottish winger
