Rangers News: Rangers are reportedly making a move for American goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann, claims The Sun.

The Light Blues cite the Hertha goalkeeper as a second-choice for the 38-year-old Allan McGregor and keeping in mind that the present back-ups Wes Foderingham and Jak Alnwick are seeking an exit this summer.

The report also states that the Gers scouted Jonathan in last week’s game against Lokomotiv Leipzig.

Jonathan, son of former German star Jurgen Klinsmann, spent his youth career with Bayern Munich and Strikers FC.

He later signed for the Bundesliga outfit Hertha BSC and subsequently played for the U-23 side.

The 22-year-old’s main team debut was against Ostersunds FC in Europa League this season.

Jonathan has made 20 appearances for United States’ U-20 squad and received his call-up for the first-team last year in the friendlies against England and Italy.

Possibilities of signing

The US shot-stopper has grown weary at Germany, owing to his lack of first-team opportunities.

And Ibrox would be the best place to up his career, given that current goalkeeper McGregor is in his twilight.

The Light Blues picked up a brilliant win against Celtic in the Old Firm derby last Sunday and the win was their fourth on the trot.

Steven Gerrard in his first season at Ibrox has fared really well despite ending up trophyless.

Arsenal to announce Willian transfer soon

Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Willian Borges da Silva on a three-year contract worth £100,000-a-week according to Dailymail.

The Blues tried to hold down their star player but Willian wasn’t interested in a short deal given his age and found a better offer from the Gunners.

The 32-year old has been consistent for the Blues over the past few years and has displayed some serious performances ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Brazilian for Arsenal would give the club a different dimension to the game and add a great depth to their young squad.

When Arsenal do finally announce the signing it would mean they have beaten a host of clubs, including David Beckham’s new MLS franchise Inter Miami, Manchester United and several other clubs from Serie A. The player’s agent had earlier said that Willian had five different offers.

Willian might be the first of many signings as Arsenal are set for a busy summer as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad ahead of a new season that brings in a lot of expectations from him.
