- Why Rangers accelerate Kevin Kelsy deal as Rayan Fofana decides on next club
Rangers have been linked with Kevin Kelsy and Rayan Fofana this transfer window.
Derek McInnes is looking for a new striker at the Gers after Youssef Chermiti 's ACL injury.
The Venezuela international and the Lens youngster seem to have been part of the Light Blues' shortlist.

With the transfer deadline fast approaching at Ibrox, Kelsy seems to be on his way to Glasgow.
There have been plenty of reports suggesting that the Light Blues have agreed a deal for the 22-year-old Portland Timbers centre-forward.
The latest development around Fofana could help us understand why the Govan side have decided to splash the cash on the MLS star.
Next Rayan Fofana destination set after Rangers links
Fofana was offered to Rangers after being made available for a loan move by Lens.
The 20-year-old attacker is expected to leave the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to continue his development elsewhere.

According to L'Equipe on 27 August, Le Havre have emerged as the France Under-21 international's preferred next destination.
While there has been plenty of interest in Fofana from within Ligue 1 and the Glaswegian outfit, he's expected to join the Normandy club barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The French youngster's decision may have already been known at the Govan side, who then possibly accelerated their move for Kelsy.
The transfer deal Rangers can strike as Rayan Fofana now offered at Ibrox Why Derek McInnes red flags have emerged already after Ibrox recruitment drive
McInnes has been adamant about reinforcing his attack at Rangers.

After multiple additions in the midfield earlier this summer, the focus has now turned to recruiting more forwards.
Kim Min-su's transfer has already been made official and Kelsy could soon be unveiled at Ibrox after the Gers agreed an initial fee worth £9million for him.
The Glaswegian outfit's fanbase have been worried about the Govan side's defensive qualities and their worst fears have been realised after the defeat to Jablonec in the Conference League.
McInnes recently claimed that signing more centre-backs wasn't a priority at Ibrox, with the focus on improving the depth up front.
It's certainly worrying that the Gers could soon have five strikers on their books, but just three natural central defenders if John Souttar is taken out of the equation.
