Powerhouse striker ‘free to quit’ La Liga team; he has previously been monitored by Rangers.

So far in the summer transfer window, Rangers have focused on a fairly specific player profile.

Philippe Clement has previously stated his goal to bring players to Ibrox who can contribute to winning trophies now while also being developed and sold for a profit in the future.

The manager has confirmed that experience would be signed to replace those who have left, with Rangers having the opportunity to add a striker who has previously caused issues for the defenders.

Rangers have chance to sign Sory Kaba after Europa League clash

Clement has a distinct formation that includes two wingers and a number ten.

Cyriel Dessers led the line practically by default and is a very different type of player than Danilo, who will be a welcome sight in a Rangers jersey again next season.

They may have different approaches to how they play, but they are expected to accomplish the same things: link play, run the channels, hold the ball up, and go into the box to score goals.

With Kemar Roofe’s departure, they will need to find a replacement who can tick all of these boxes.

According to Darren Witcoop of The Mirror, Sory Kaba is “free to leave” La Liga club Las Palmas, and he might be a great rotation option for the Rangers.

He impressed for Midtjylland against Steven Gerrard’s side in two end-to-end Europa League group stage qualification legs in 2019, and Rangers’ analysis staff will have closely monitored him.

Kaba fits Philippe Clement profile for Rangers number nine

Kaba, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a huge presence in both boxes but also possesses technical ability, making him more than just a target man.

Last season did not go as planned in terms of goals and assists; nonetheless, he will not be the first to struggle while moving up a level.

The 27-year-old scored routinely for Midtjylland before moving to Cardiff City following a falling out with the Danish club.

Kaba, who is reportedly available for £2 million, would be a no-risk acquisition in terms of both quality and money.

As he stated in his Las Palmas statement, he also has the correct attitude:

“The fan reaction to my arrival was unexpected; I left Spain at a young age following my tenure at Elche. I understand what it takes to play in La Liga, and this is a dream for me.

“I’d like to thank the club and the fans for their warm welcome,” he stated.

“The most important thing to me is the team. A forward’s primary goal is to score goals, but assisting in the acquisition of three points is even more vital. I’m the one who needs to adjust to the team; I’m here to assist and score as many goals as possible.

“Every team has one or two forwards of my profile; I’m the one who needs to adjust to what the coach asks for and his playing philosophy.”

This summer, there will be a significant rebuilding effort, and veteran players are not cheap.

A 21-times capped international at this price makes a lot of sense, especially given Nils Koppen’s budget.
