Rangers boss Mark Warburton is on the trail of USA star Emerson Hyndman.

MailSport believes the Bournemouth midfielder is now a top loan target for the Ibrox gaffer. And if a deal is struck, he could join Arsenal ace Jon Toral in Gers’ ranks for the rest of the season.

Warburton has also been given the go-ahead to sign up young Aston Villa striker Rushian Hepburn-Murphy for NEXT season.

Cherries star Hyndman is the former captain of the USA Under-20s side and came through the ranks at Fulham.

Last summer, he was linked with the likes of AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Celtic – before opting to sign a four-year contract at Bournemouth.

He’s only featured twice in the EFL Cup this season for the Cherries.

Hyndman’s profile fits the bill for Rangers as the manager attempts to boost his midfield in the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old is highly rated in the States and was given his full international debut in 2014.

He could team up with Spaniard Toral who should clinch a move to Ibrox in the next 48 hours.

The attacking midfielder is currently on loan at La Liga outfit Granada from the Gunners.

But he failed to get off the bench in their 5-0 defeat to Real Madrid yesterday and now looks certain to tie up a six-month deal with Gers.

Meanwhile, Hepburn-Murphy, 18, has refused to sign a new deal with Steve Bruce’s Villa. That’s opened the door for Rangers to snap him up on a pre-contract for just £200,000.

Bruce said last night: “We’ve made a fantastic offer to him but until he commits he won’t be involved here.”

Meanwhile, Matt Crooks, 22, has asked Warburton to be sent out on loan in a search for match action.
