Rangers are set to hold preliminary talks with Ghana international Rashid Sumaila, according to the player’s agent.
Sumaila’s Portuguese representative Pedro Serpa Pinto has told the Mail that the Scottish giants have already contacted his club Al-Qadisa in Kuwait to express their interest in a summer deal.
Pinto revealed that centre-back Sumaila, 24, is keen on a reunion with Rangers manager Pedro Caxinha after they worked together at Qatari club Al-Gharafa, where the player is currently on loan.
“I can confirm that Rangers have approached the player and informed his club in Kuwait,” Pinto explained to the Mail.
“As you know the player is on loan at Al Gharafa right now. But he likes the coach Pedro Caixinha and he would like to work with him again in Scotland.
“I think this can happen. But so far nobody from Rangers has been in contact with me directly.”
Nevertheless, Pinto confirmed that early talks are imminent and that he is convinced an agreement can be reached for Sumaila to become a Rangers player.
“So far nobody from Rangers has contacted my directly and they will have to because I am the official agent of the player,” he added to the Mail.
“I expect they will contact me soon when we will sit down and have a discussion.
“Anything is possible in football but it depends on their value of the player.”
Sumaila has pedigree at the highest level after making his international debut in 2013.
He has been capped six times for the Ghana national team and made the 23-man squad for the 2014 World Cup.
