Glasgow Rangers have goalkeepers Sebastiano Desplanches and Ivor Pandur on their list as they seek a new number one this summer.
Journalist Luca Bendoni reports that the two goalkeepers are on Rangers’ list of options to strengthen their goalkeeper options.
Rangers eye two
He reports that Rangers and Norwich City are interested in the 23-year-old goalkeeper Sebastien Desplanches, who currently plays for Palermo. A handful of Italian goalkeepers are also keen on him.
But he is also not the only goalkeeper on the list. According to his information, the Hull City number one is also someone that they are looking at this summer. Bendoni provides no further information other than that both goalkeepers are potentially targets for those in charge at Ibrox.
Rangers currently have Jack Butland as their number one, with Liam Kelly and Kieran Wright providing back up in the squad.
But Butland, now 33, conceded 72 goals in 55 games across all competitions last season. He also kept 16 clean sheets. That appears to have prompted Rangers to look at potential replacements.
€4.5 or €1m
Ivor Pandur was a key man for Hull, starring as their number one last season as they secured promotion to the Premier League.
His stats were not particularly impressive across the campaign, though, with 65 goals conceded across 48 games. Hull have already been linked with potential replacements.
The 26-year-old, then, could be available if that happens. Transfermarkt currently rate him at €4.5m.
Sebastiano Deplanches, meanwhile, is the current number one at Serie B side Pescara. He conceded 50 goals across 27 games for the club last season. Transfermarkt value him at €1m.
For now, it appears that Rangers are only assessing the duo. But the hunt for a new goalkeeper appears to be on and they are two names to keep an eye on as the summer transfer window progresses.
