RANGERS could make Santos Laguna defender Jose Javier Abella their third Mexican arrival in a week after his club claimed they were in negotiations to sell him to the Light Blues.

Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha has been busy in the summer transfer window and has already recruited Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera from Mexican football, pending a work permit.
