Elite football is a notoriously difficult career nut to crack and if Philippe Clement is looking for players for Rangers, he will never be short of agents picking up the phone to him.
One position that the new Gers boss might have already let his contacts know that he is looking for is to strengthen the right-hand side of his attack given the exits from the squad in the summer.
Ianis Hagi and Fashion Sakala could both be used there to good effect but Philippe Clement has to find another solution and the transfer market is the obvious place to start his Rangers rebuild.
Currently, he has Scott Wright and Ross McCausland as naturals for that side, the former was close to leaving in the summer and the latter has proven that he can step up if the ex-Aberdeen winger does.
Wingers don’t come cheap, however, a quick look at the free agent list on Transfermarkt shows that quality bargains can be had.
Helder Costa
A name that might be familiar to observers of English football.
The former Leeds and Wolverhampton Wanderers winger left Elland Road in October and has yet to find a new club.
The Angola international has a good injury history and has barely missed a game since 2017.
At 29-years old, he would be an experienced and safe pair of hands on a short-term deal until the end of the season where his performance could be assessed.
Nemanja Jovic
A player who you have to wonder why nobody has picked him up yet.
Only 21, a Serbian international and with nearly 70 appearances already for Partizan Belgrade.
Philippe Clement needs players who can make an immediate impact but bringing him to Ibrox would be a punt worth taking by Rangers given Jovic’s potential.
Tanguy Coulibaly
Another youngster at just 22-years old but one with a good pedigree having come through PSG’s academy before signing for Stuttgart.
A step down in level may be what the talented winger needs but, with 66 Bundesliga appearances, he has something about him that the right manager could unlock.
If Philippe Clement can get a tune out of Scott Wright and see an upturn in form in both Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers, then he could make something out of these players for Rangers too.
With a return to the club for Ryan Kent being rumoured, maybe he might not need to.
