Rangers bracing for Nicolas Raskin bids amid emerging links

Rangers are expecting bids for 24-year-old Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin amid his links with Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur.

According to a report by Football Insider, Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Nicolas Raskin. The two Premier League clubs are keen on reinforcing their first-team squads by landing a versatile midfielder in the winter transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Rangers mainstay has emerged as a target for them.

However, a winter move will not be straightforward, as widespread reports have suggested that Rangers are not interested in parting ways with the Liege native in the winter transfer window. But the Scottish Premiership giants are bracing themselves for bids for Raskin in the coming weeks.

Nicolas Raskin and his spell with Rangers so far

Nicolas Raskin has made significant progress since joining Rangers from Standard Liege in January 2023. The 24-year-old spent his formative years in Belgium, but he has seen his stock soar over the last two and a half years, having been a mainstay in the middle of the park for Rangers.

The Belgian international has made over 100 appearances thus far for Rangers while chipping in with eight goals and 18 assists. Meanwhile, Raskin’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the winter transfer window.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Nicolas Raskin is understandable. The Lilywhites are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder, as Yves Bissouma has no future at the North London club. Several candidates have thus emerged on Tottenham’s wishlist, with Raskin also a viable target for the Lilywhites.

As for Leeds United, the West Yorkshire outfit failed with a move for Raskin in the summer transfer window, as the Liege native was not interested in joining them. The continued interest makes sense, as Daniel Farke wants more options in the middle of the park to manage the challenge of remaining in the Premier League beyond the 2025/26 season.

The latest report has revealed that Rangers are bracing themselves for bids for Raskin in the coming weeks. However, a winter move for Raskin will not be straightforward, as recent updates have claimed that Rangers will be reluctant to part ways with the 24-year-old Belgian international. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
