Rangers Explore Move for “Lethal” £5m Star, He’d Be a Better Move Than Djiga at Ibrox
Glasgow Rangers are actively exploring a move for a highly-rated £5m-rated defender described as “lethal” — a potential signing that could prove to be a better addition than the soon-to-be-announced arrival of Nasser Djiga.
While the Ibrox club edges closer to confirming Djiga’s transfer, sources suggest manager Russell Martin is eyeing an even more impactful addition to his backline. With Max Aarons and Emmanuel Fernandez already signed, Martin is wasting no time in rebuilding the defensive unit at Rangers as he prepares his squad for a title challenge.

The mystery £5m-rated star — whose identity is being kept under wraps for now — is said to possess not only solid defensive credentials but also a dangerous threat going forward, making him a more dynamic option than Djiga. One insider even claimed the player has a “lethal presence in both boxes,” with a proven record of goals from set-pieces and aggressive tackling in high-pressure situations.
Russell Martin’s vision for the new season is clear: bring in defenders who can both shut out the opposition and contribute to Rangers’ attacking play. While Djiga’s signing remains a key part of the summer rebuild, the potential move for this £5m star could elevate the team’s performance to another level — particularly in European competition.
Should the deal progress, fans could soon be treated to a defensive trio of Aarons, Fernandez, and this lethal new addition — a bold and exciting defensive core that could redefine Rangers under Martin.
With Djiga close to being unveiled and transfer talks intensifying, Ibrox is certainly becoming one of the busiest destinations in Scottish football this summer.
