Rangers eye Burnley defender Hjalmar Ekdal
Rangers are interested in a move for Burnley defender Hjalmar Ekdal, according to Expressen. The report adds that Stoke City, QPR and Middlesbrough are also keen on the centre-back, along with Sampdoria and Empoli.
Ekdal, who is 26-years-old, moved to Turf Moor in 2023 but has been plagued with injury issues since his move to England. He has made 18 appearances in all competitions for the Clarets to date.
The Gers could see him as someone to bolster their ranks ahead of the second-half of the season. However, they would need to see off competition from elsewhere to get him. That said, the report notes the star “has been plagued by injury problems this autumn.”
After signing for Burnley from Djurgårdens, he told their website: “Burnley and Kompany have done amazing things so far this season, it’s something I really wanted to be a part of. It feels really good, I can’t wait to meet the team now and play in front of the amazing crowd at Turf Moor.”
The Clarets are currently eyeing promotion from the Championship under the guidance of Scott Parker. They were relegated from the Premier League last year along with Sheffield United and Luton Town
