Rangers reportedly want French defender with serious pace, once clocked at 36km/h – originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to Foot Mercato (via GFFN), Scottish Premiership champions Rangers have registered an interest in Dijon centre-back Senou Coulibaly.
However, they are not the only ones keen on the Frenchman, with English Championship side Huddersfield Town also keeping tabs on the 26-year-old.
Rangers are looking to bolster their squad when the summer transfer window opens in order to mount a strong title defence next season.
Steven Gerrard’s side know that they cannot afford to rest on their oars after knocking Celtic off their perch.
Landing another quality defender will help strengthen their backline, and Coulibaly has been identified as a prospective target.
The Dijon star still has two years left on his contract, and landing him might not come cheap.
Coulibaly is an all-action defender, and his serious pace could also come in handy at Ibrox.
He was clocked travelling at an impressive 36km/h by the LFP last season, and the ability will definitely attract more suitors.
It is an impressive quality for someone who stands at 6 ft 4 in, and it will be interesting to see whether Rangers can land their man.
With two goals in 16 Ligue 1 games this term to his name, Coulibaly is also a goal threat at the other end, and the Light Blues could do with such a player.
With Dijon all but guaranteed to relegate at the end of this term, they are likely to cash in on one of their best players this summer, and Rangers have a realistic chance of signing the Frenchman.
