Rangers have had an opening bid for Feyenoord striker Danilo rejected.

The Ibrox club remain interested in signing the Brazilian - who scored 14 goals across all competitions last season - but are yet to agree a fee.

However, manager Michael Beale could yet add to his squad this week, with talks ongoing over a loan deal for Brighton forward Abdallah Sima.

The 22-year-old - who played against Rangers twice in 2021 for Slavia Prague - then moved to the Amex for around £7m, but has yet to make an appearance for the Premier League club.

Sima, a Senegal international, spent his first year on loan at Stoke City, before joining Angers last season where he scored six goals in 37 appearances.
