Sources: Rangers Could Accept Oliver Antman Offer After Deal Agreed
Rangers FC are reportedly open to considering offers for winger Oliver Antman following the agreement of another key deal at Ibrox, according to club sources. The 23-year-old Finnish international, who joined Rangers from Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie last summer on a four-year contract, has attracted interest from multiple clubs amid a squad rebuild under head coach Russell Martin
Antman initially moved to Ibrox in a transfer that could rise to around £4 million, marking Rangers' ninth signing of the window. He impressed with 32 league appearances last season, scoring six goals and providing 15 assists, showcasing his versatility and attacking prowess. Rangers' sporting director Kevin Thelwell praised his technical ability and maturity, while Martin highlighted his potential to add a "new dimension" to the squad. Antman himself expressed excitement about joining the "huge club," eager to meet the team and contribute.[1][4]
Recent developments suggest Rangers could accept an offer for Antman after securing an unspecified "Ibrox deal," possibly involving incoming transfers like Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday and Mikey Moore from Tottenham, or other squad adjustments such as loans for players like Skov Olsen. This move aligns with Martin's efforts to reshape the team following a draw against Motherwell in their Premiership opener. Sources indicate Antman's form, including key contributions like earning a penalty in a 2-0 win over Viktoria Plzen, has boosted his value, but financial and strategic considerations may prompt a sale.[1][2]
Antman's international experience and Eredivisie pedigree make him a desirable asset, with Rangers confident in his growth but willing to cash in if the right bid arrives. This potential departure comes as the club balances ambition in domestic and European competitions.[1][3]
