Rangers eye Besiktas starlet Ridvan Yilmaz, as Jurgen Klopp hails 'top drawer character' Ben Davies after the centre back swapped Anfield for Ibrox in a £4million deal

Rangers are exploring a potential move for highly-rated Besiktas left-back Ridvan Yilmaz after completing the £4million signing of central defender Ben Davies.

Yilmaz, 21, already has six senior caps for Turkey. He came through Besiktas’ youth system, progressing to a first-team debut in April 2019 and helping them win the 2020-21 league title.

Now entering the final year of his contract with the Istanbul club, he would likely cost in excess of £4m if Rangers pursue a permanent deal.

Ridvan Yilmaz has already broken into the Turkish national team and picked up a league title

With Calvin Bassey poised to complete his £20m switch to Ajax, the Ibrox club have already secured Davies from Liverpool in a switch worth an initial £3m plus a further £1m in add-ons.
