Rangers going all out for this 6ft 2in French giant could very well sort out attacking future
Why Rangers should complete a move for French striker Serhou Guirassy
According to French newspaper Courrier Picard (h/t The Scotsman), Rangers have been credited with an interest in Serhou Guirassy, who currently plies his trade with Amiens in Ligue 1.
The 23-year-old target man is also on the radar of Spanish outfit Espanyol (Courrier Picard h/t Scotsman) while a report from Leicestershire Live back in October revealed that Premier League high-flyers Leicester City are also keeping tabs on the powerful centre-forward.
Born in Arles, France, to parents of Guinean descent, Guirassy completed his footballing education at Stade Lavallois and shot to prominence in Ligue 2, where a tally of 6 goals in 33 league appearances earned him a move to the French top-flight with LOSC Lille in the summer of 2015.
However, he struggled for game time at Lille during the first half of the 2015-16 campaign and returned on loan to the second-tier in Auxerre, where he reinvigorated his reputation with 8 goals in 16 games during the latter stages of the season.
That paved the way for a switch to the German Bundesliga with FC Koln in the summer of 2016 but Guirassy’s stint at Koln proved to be an injury-stricken one, with the club also suffering relegation to the second-tier.
The 23-year-old former French U-20 international managed a meagre tally of just 9 goals in 45 games before returning to his homeland on loan with Amiens back in January 2019.
Guirassy, who scored 3 goals in 13 appearances in Ligue 1 during the second half of the previous campaign, was snapped up on a permanent deal by Amines this past summer for a fee of £5.4million.
The former Lavallois star has made a promising start to the ongoing campaign at his new club, scoring 4 times and assisting once in 13 appearances.
Meanwhile, Rangers were going toe-to-toe with arch-rivals Celtic atop the Scottish Premiership standings before losing valuable ground in the title race following a 2-2 draw away at Aberdeen on Wednesday night.
To put things into perspective, Serhou Guirassy might not boast of the most prolific record but he looks like a handy option for Rangers moving forward.
The 23-year-old has carved out a big reputation for himself in his homeland as a powerful target man and the Gers have now set their sights on bringing him to Ibrox in a bid to bolster their attack.
Alfredo Morelos has been quite unstoppable this season but with the Colombian attracting widespread interest from several Premier League clubs (h/t Birmingham Live), Rangers might be forced to part ways with their star man if one of the potential suitors put up an offer on the table that they simply can’t refuse.
Jermain Defoe, who is currently on loan from Bournemouth, has proven himself capable of racking up goals for fun at this level despite his advancing years but at 37, he can’t really be deemed as a long-term solution for the Ibrox giants.
With Kyle Lafferty no longer in the scene at Ibrox, Rangers might need to scour the market for alternatives in the near future should Morelos depart for a bigger club, and Guirassy looks like a decent option in the right age bracket.
The 23-year-old hasn’t really lived up to his potential just yet but his powerful 6ft 2in frame means that he could well add another dimension to Rangers’ attack.
As per whoscored, the Frenchman averages a staggering 4.5 aerial duels per game in Ligue 1 this term, figures which lie testament to his credentials as a bonafide target man.
Verdict
Guirassy is only going to get better with time, and considering the fact that the Scottish Premiership is way behind the French top-flight, both in terms of quality and intensity, a move to Rangers might go a long way towards helping him rack up more goals.
Ideally, though, Rangers would be better off keeping tabs on the player for the time being and make a move for him next summer, given that it would make it easier for the Frenchman to get to grips with Gerrard’s philosophy and settle down better at Ibrox following a full pre-season.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
