Rangers 'target' midfielder who had Barcelona trial as new transfer link emerges

The Ivorian, who has previously had trials with Barcelona and Monaco, has been scouted by the Ibrox club, according to the Israeli media source One.

The 22-year-old scored four goals and two assists in the Israel top flight last season under former Real Madrid player and Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka.

The reports states that Maccabi are prepared to listen to offers from the Ivory Coast Under 23 international, who can play through the middle as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing.

Greek sides are also said to be monitoring the player who counts former Celtic star Nir Bitton as a current team-mate.

Guiagon's agent is Dudu Daha, who has brokered a number of transfer deals between players based in Israel ad Scottish clubs in recent years, including current Celtic winger Liel Abada and former Hibs goalkeeper Ofir Marciano.
