West Ham join race to sign Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin

West Ham United are plotting a late swoop to sign Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin this summer, according to TEAMtalk. 

The 24-year-old moved to the Ibrox Stadium from Jupiler Pro League side Standard Liège in January 2023. Despite the managerial changes, the midfielder has remained a consistent first-choice option, featuring 48 times across all competitions last season and providing 16 goal contributions.

West Ham United are plotting a late swoop to sign Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

The 24-year-old moved to the Ibrox Stadium from Jupiler Pro League side Standard Liège in January 2023. Despite the managerial changes, the midfielder has remained a consistent first-choice option, featuring 48 times across all competitions last season and providing 16 goal contributions.

However, Raskin was left out of Rangers’ starting XI in their second-leg Champions League qualifier against Club Brugge. He has also completed 90 minutes in just one of their opening three games this season, leading to speculation he could be on the move.

According to TEAMtalk, West Ham are now showing a keen interest in making a swoop for Raskin before the window closes on Monday evening.

The report adds that the East London club are looking to add depth to their midfield ranks, and the four-cap Belgium international has been earmarked as a viable target.

While Rangers are hesitant about sanctioning his departure this summer, their stance could soften as the transfer deadline nears, with offers worth up to £20m likely to be considered, according to the report.

However, West Ham will need to act swiftly to poach the Belgian midfielder as TEAMtalk reports that several clubs are also keen on his signature, including Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley, Aston Villa, Brighton and Fiorentina.
