Rangers transfer news latest as Joan Jordan Sevilla motivation becomes clear and Lammers makes Twente debut

Sevilla's determination to move Joan Jordan on is perhaps even greater than Rangers' desire to sign him, and for good reason.

The Ibrox club have reportedly had a loan bid accepted by the Spanish outfit after an initial offer was rejected, with the La Liga side demanding that the Ibrox club cover the midfielder's wages in full. That stance may have softened, as a loan for the season with a €5million option to buy next summer has been deemed acceptable by Los Nervionenses.

And, after making his bow in a 45-minute cameo in a friendly against German side Paderborn, Lammers can't wait to get started at his new club in the Eredivisie.

He said: "It happened very quickly. I signed from Rangers on the Friday and made my debut the next day. But that's the best way I think. I chose Twente over other
