Giovanni van Bronckhorst revealed Rangers are "very close" to signing Antonio Colak from PAOK as they get ready to lose Joe Aribo to Southampton.
The Light Blues are ready to bring the 28-year-old Croatia international to Glasgow for a reported fee of £1.8million, while midfielder Aribo is expected to join Premier League outfit Saints for a fee widely reported to be up to £10m with a sell-on clause.
Van Bronckhorst told Sky Sports about the interest in Colak, saying: "We are very close with him. We worked hard to get him on board, so hopefully he will join us really soon and give us some extra options up front.
"I think he has shown in the teams he played for that he can score goals, he is a very good striker.
"He did us a lot of damage at the beginning of last season which also showed his quality.
"Of course it is a new season ahead and we want to be successful in all the competitions we play in, so we have to have the squad to be able to do that. So we are more than happy that he will join us really soon."
On Aribo's future, the Dutchman added: "Joe is a very important player for us. He has been really good for this club for the last years.
"His development was really good and at the moment he has ambitions to play in the Premier League, so that is his mission and it is probably what is going to happen in the near future.
"But it is what you want as a club, to get talented players into the club and develop them into really good players and eventually the player has their own ambitions. But what he has done for this club has been fantastic."
