Rangers striker Mark Hateley believes his former club needs at least three new signings before the transfer window closes on Friday night – and joked that he would take Brentford hitman Ivan Toney as one of them.
Gers boss Philippe Clement has made no secret of his desire to bring in new players before the deadline and has been linked with a vast array of names, the latest being French defender Stanley Nsoki and Albanian playmaker Nedim Bajrami. Hateley feels Rangers require a defender, midfielder and attacker and put forward England forward Toney, who is set to leave Brentford for a mooted fee of £50 million, as a dream arrival.I think Rangers need a centre-half, an attacking midfielder and a striker,” said Hateley. “We’d take Ivan Toney from Brentford if they could afford to pay for him – let’s get Ivan in, I think he’d do! I think they need to strengthen right through the heart of the team.
