Rangers transfer state of play on Tillman, Danilo and Kamara as Jose Cifuentes quick-fire arrival date set

It became clear Rangers were in for a box office summer once the departures of Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos, Allan McGregor, Filip Helander and Scott Arfield were confirmed.

But few would have predicted Michael Beale would be on the verge of his eighth and ninth signings before the end of the July. But the Rangers transfer plan has operated at warp speed and the new look side is truly taking shape. And it needed to be that way with a mega Champions League qualifier looming against Genk or Servette and the Premiership kicking off in less than a fortnight.

The likes of Sam Lammers, Jack Butland and Cyriel Dessers are down to work and two new arrivals are set to join them as Beale's wishes are met in the search for first-team arrivals in key positions. Record Sport runs the rule on the latest amid a flurry of action in Govan.

The battle is won as Rangers have their man and the only fight the 24-year-old is in now is see if he pips Danilo to become the club's eighth summer signing. And it appears he is in pole position to pip the Feyenoord star as he heads to Glasgow with LAFC and the Ibrox side in agreement for a transfer now. Cifuentes penned a pre-contract to bring him to Glasgow in the winter but he's arriving now and could be part of the squad for Saturday's friendly in Hoffenheim – according to the Athletic. The Ecuador international is viewed as a player who can come into the Ibrox side and compete for regular game time after his eye-catching efforts in Major League Soccer.

The rave reviews keep coming for the 24-year-old who is on the verge of a £6m transfer to Rangers. Multiple bids have been made but now an agreement is on the verge of completion. And Beale has been told he's landing the optimum option for the fee
