Rangers land revived Fares Ghedjemis transfer option as Kevin Kelsy addressed amid striker deal veto Derek McInnes is keen to add more depth in the attacking third this summer Massimiliano Alvini has left the door open for Fares Ghedjemis to leave Frosinone this summer amid interest from Rangers. The Light Blues reportedly saw an £8million-plus bid for long-time Celtic target turned down - just days after an offer from the Hoops was kicked out with their rivals circling. But both Glasgow giant appeared to move on from a deal with the Scottish champions bringing in Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo, while Rangers eyed PSV wide man Couhaib Driouech. However, an injury saw a move £7million for the 24-year-old fall apart - despite the Moroccan making an appearance at Ibrox to watch Thursday's Europa League exit at the hands of Jagiellonia Bialystok. And despite Frosinone president Maurizio Stirpe insists the club do not have to sell key man Ghedjemis this summer, Alvini admits departures are on the cards. Ahead of the Coppa Italia clash with Juve Stabia, he said: "Transfer market dynamics aren't an issue. Players will leave. Players will arrive, and I will coach them. The ones I’ve had so far have worked well. "There is a lot of movement as the season approaches, but the path ahead is very clear. The team has legs, spirit, and aggression—in line with our philosophy." Rangers are also eyeing a striker to replace the injured Youssef Chermiti with Record Sport revealing on Thursday that Portland Timbers frontman Kevin Kelsy is an option. Reports have suggested that the Ibrox side have put forward a $10m (£7.5m) offer for the attacker with talks ongoing over a deal. Speaking ahead of facing Chicago Fire boss Marti Cifuentes admits he expects movement in the market. He said: "You expect players to leave, but I am working with Ned [Grabavoy, general manager] and Jack [Dodd, technical director] to find the best possible way to reinforce this team." Reports have also suggested contact has been made with Sheffield United over a deal for frontman Ryan One. But speaking to the Yorkshire Post, boss Chris Wilder has ruled out a move: "He had a fabulous loan move to Lincoln, had a taste of success. "They're in our division now and he played a part in a brilliant season for Lincoln City, winning the League One title. “He's had a good pre-season, came on the pitch on Sunday for 20-25 minutes and showed glimpses of what he can achieve. "I'm really excited about what we can achieve, excited to get back to Bramall Lane and the atmosphere, how it will be with supporters missing the football. "I want to coach, I want to manage. There's a process to strengthen our squad. Every manager in the division will say they don't enjoy this period because of the uncertainty. "I don't envisage us losing anybody (in his plans), I don't want to lose anybody, I want to build. I want to build a good team."
