Rangers are lining up a swoop for £2 million-rated NK Osijek winger Eros Grezda.

The Albanian international has emerged as a target for Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard as he looks to replace Jamie Murphy, who is out for the rest of the season with a long-term knee injury.

Record Sport understands Grezda has been identified as a solution to filling the void left by Murphy and that discussions have opened between Rangers and Osijek about a possible deal.

The clubs dealt recently as Gerrard moved to sign defender Borsa Barisic from the Croatian outfit in a £1.5million transfer and the Light Blues could again do business with the team they defeated in the Europa League qualifying rounds.

Grezda, who has six caps for his country, has only been at Osijek for one season after joining from NK Lokomotiva, but could be destined for Scotland as Gerrard continues with his squad building.

The 23-year-old didn’t play in the ties against the Ibrox side due to injury, but is ready to return to action and has the permission of his club to leave if the right offer is made.

He would become Gerrard’s 13th signing of the summer, while 20 players have been offloaded in this window as the manager continues his huge rebuild at Rangers.

Murphy is expected to be out for the rest of the campaign with a cruciate injury suffered at Kilmarnock earlier this month.
