Danny Rohl gets Rangers summer transfer pledge from Ibrox board with current star one of three big targets
Rangers hierarchy expected to give German boss ‘great backing’ in summer transfer window - Premiership title outcome aside
Rangers manager Danny Rohl has reportedly been promised ‘great backing’ in the summer transfer window by the club’s American owners - even if they were to miss out on the Scottish Premiership title this season.
The Light Blues are gearing up for a thrilling end to the campaign amid a four-way battle for the league crown, but there has been shrewd planning taking place behind the scenes to start identifying key reinforcements on multiple fronts with a view to next season.
Rohl is understood to be targeting two exciting summer additions to bolster in squad in addition to working on a deal to bring Tottenham Hotspur talent Mikey Moore back to Ibrox either on another loan or a permanent contract.
According to TEAMtalk, meetings between Rohl and the Gers hierarchy have taken place with sources confirming that owners 49ers Enterprises will continue to invest heavily in the first-teams squad no matter of the outcome of this season’s title race
It’s reported that teenage sensation Moore is one of the most ‘prominent’ targets. The 18-year-old attacker, whos is currently on a season-long loan from Premier League giants Spurs, has impressed with his creativity, work rate, and goal contributions.
It was revealed recently that Rangers were actively trying to secure Moore’s services for next term, with discussions already underway between Rangers and their North London counterparts. It’s now suggested that any pre-agreement could include a hefty loan fee.
The player himself expressed his satisfaction about life in Glasgow last month and Rohl had indicated that forthcoming conversation to extend his stay beyond the current campaign were due to be held imminently.

That’s not the only piece of transfer business Rangers are working on as the former Sheffield Wednesday boss looks to add more depth and quality to his group.
19-year-old Huddersfield Town midfielder Cameron Ashia, who has drawn comparisons to Belgium international Jeremy Doku, has also emerged as a potential summer recruit. He could arrive on a free transfer with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Kilmarnock’s David Watson is viewed as a “super” talent and also on Rangers radar as well as several other Scottish top-flight clubs, including Aberdeen and Hibs.
It appears Rangers’ early focus is on retaining Moore and targeting young talent as they look to conduct their business early on when the window opens on Monday, June 15.
