Rangers Target £7.4m Bid for In-Form Venezuelan Striker Kevin Kelsy

Rangers are reportedly set to make a significant bid for Kevin Kelsy, a 22-year-old Venezuelan striker currently playing for Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer. The estimated price tag for Kelsy is around £7.4 million.

Kelsy has been in impressive form this season, scoring 10 goals in 20 appearances and providing four goals in his last three MLS outings. His current form has caught the attention of Rangers manager Derek McInnes, who is looking to boost his team's stuttering performance.

Billy Merck, an expert on Portland Timbers, praised Kelsy's skills, saying 'he's a physically strong player who can hold the ball and allow players to run off him.' Merck also noted that Kelsy has developed other crucial skills, such as pressing defenders, dropping deep to pick up the ball, and providing assists in addition to scoring goals.

Rangers are said to be 'very likely' to secure a deal for Kelsy, but it's unclear whether Portland have accepted their initial offer. If successful, this move could be a significant boost to Rangers' season, as they seek to turn around their struggling performance.
