Rangers are now reportedly prioritising a deal to sign a 6’4 midfield star for Danny Rohl in January after sending scouts to watch their target in action.
Rohl makes first Rangers transfer request
It’s been a solid start from Rohl, even when considering the last two frustrating draws against Falkirk and Dundee United. The former Sheffield Wednesday boss has at least steadied the ship and should have the chance to stamp his mark on his Rangers side in January.
Without the influence of failed sporting director Kevin Thelwell, the young manager is likely to have a larger say on potential incomings and he’s already made his first request as a result.

According to recent reports, Rohl has personally commenced a scouting mission to sign a clinical striker after asking the 49ers to sign him a reliable goalscorer, dynamic midfielder and versatile full-back.
Speaking to reporters about the winter window earlier this month, the Rangers boss said: “In general, I’m in a conversation with Andrew (Cavenagh) nearly every two or three days.
“I think this is crucial. He will be also in, in the next couple of days, so we will have the next meetings. I give my feedback every day or every matchday back to him. What I see is not just about positions, also what is important for us as a group – which profiles we need.
“From the skills, from the tools, from a specialist in some areas, I think this is crucial. It’s not just about the physical speed, it’s also the mindset, how quick is the mind at the moment, how quick you can receive the ball, how quick you can accelerate our game.”
Now, with that in mind, Rangers have reportedly identified their first potential signing for Rohl in Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl this winter.
Rangers prioritising Hjerto-Dahl deal
According to TeamTalk, Rangers are now prioritising a deal to sign Hjerto-Dahl in the January transfer window after sending their scouts. Rohl reportedly wants the 6’4 box-crashing star to match his request for a new dynamic midfielder at Ibrox.
The Gers aren’t the only club interested, however. Leeds United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Bournemouth and Sunderland have all reportedly maintained contact in the race to secure Hjerto-Dahl’s signature.
A former Liverpool target who was dubbed “strong” by scout Kai Watson earlier this week, Hjerto-Dahl is certainly someone to watch.
Given the amount of interest in his signature, it would undoubtedly be a major coup if Rangers managed to land the 6’4 Norwegian midfielder in January. As first signings go, Rohl would be landing an excellent addition ahead of Premier League clubs.
