Glasgow Rangers and Giovanni van Bronckhorst hold a definitive ‘interest’ in bringing Malik Tillman to Ibrox.

The Lowdown: Matondo signs

The Gers confirmed the signing of Rabbi Matondo from FC Schalke 04 on their official website on Tuesday afternoon.

The winger has signed a four-year deal at the club for an undisclosed fee, and becomes their fourth senior signing of the summer (excluding John Souttar).

Now the Light Blues can focus on other targets as the new Scottish Premiership season draws nearer, and there have been plenty of rumours surrounding Tillman after Rangers Review heaped praise on the American starlet in a scouting report this week.

The Latest: Tillman ‘interest’

Taking to Twitter, journalist Fraser Fletcher has confirmed that Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Tillman is now of ‘interest’ to the Teddy Bears, and has emerged as one of their next potential targets:

“Malik Tillman is of interest to Rangers, the attacking midfielder is one of a number of potential targets for the club.

” The 20-year-old USA international has made 2 appearances for his country and is contacted until 2024 with the German champions.”

The Verdict: Get it done

There is no reason why RFC should stop with their summer transfer business, and adding Tillman would prove to be another shrewd signing.

He has already received an aforementioned glowing review from Rangers Review journalist Craig Vickers, who hailed the six-foot-one gem as a ‘beast physically’ with ‘very, very good technique’.

Tillman broke into Bayern’s first team last season at just 19 years of age, and made seven appearances in total over all competitions for the European giants, scoring one goal (Transfermarkt).

He is capable of playing anywhere in midfield or across the front line, which should give Rangers and van Bronckhorst that extra incentive to sign him up and add some attacking quality to fill the Joe Aribo-shaped hole in their squad.
