Rangers want Heerenveen midfielder Joey Veerman

According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers are keen on Heerenveen midfielder Joey Veerman ahead of the summer transfer window, but they face competition from Atalanta, Stade Reims, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Southampton for his signature.

The £5 million-rated youngster has scored seven goals and weighed in with nine assists in 28 Eredivisie games this term, while he also scored twice in three KNVB Cup appearances.

Veerman’s playmaking abilities have caught the attention of Rangers and others, and he could be very much available for a transfer this summer.

Heerenveen are perennially a mid-table side in the Dutch first-division, and the opportunity to play in Europe could see him opt to move to Ibrox ahead of next season.
