Scottish heavyweights Rangers FC have identified Nigerian defender Ryan Alebiosu as a potential successor to long-serving captain James Tavernier.

With Tavernier expected to depart at the end of the season, Rangers are actively scouting defensive reinforcements, and Alebiosu has emerged as a key candidate following his impressive displays in England.

The full-back, currently contracted to Blackburn Rovers until 2028, is also attracting interest from Genoa, Wolfsburg and Everton.

However, Blackburn's uncertain league position could influence negotiations, potentially making the Nigerian available at a reduced fee if relegation concerns persist.

As Rangers prepare for a new era, Alebiosu's profile and potential make him a strong candidate to fill the void left by Tavernier's expected departure.
