RANGERS CLOSING IN ON MIN-SU KIM AS 12TH SUMMER SIGNING
Rangers look set to add another name to what has already been a remarkably busy summer of business at Ibrox, with reports suggesting South Korean forward Min-su Kim has agreed personal terms and is closing in on a move to Glasgow. If the deal is completed, Kim would become Derek McInnes’s twelfth signing of the window, continuing a rebuild that has touched almost every area of the squad since the manager arrived from Hearts in June.
Kim’s potential arrival addresses a pressing need. Rangers have been searching for a quick, unpredictable option in wide areas, a search that took on greater urgency after Youssef Chermiti suffered a serious knee injury. Reports indicate the deal is worth in the region of £8.5million, a significant outlay by the standards of this window, which has otherwise leaned heavily on free transfers, loans and smaller fees rather than headline-grabbing spends. That the club appears willing to commit that kind of money for Kim suggests McInnes sees him as more than just squad depth.
The move would also fit the broader pattern of this summer’s recruitment, where Rangers have prioritised players who can make an immediate impact while still carrying long-term upside. Kim arrives with the potential to develop significantly at Ibrox, giving McInnes a genuine attacking outlet as the club tries to bounce back from a disappointing Europa League qualifying exit to Jagiellonia Białystok.
Nothing is confirmed just yet, and deals of this nature can still change course before medicals are completed and paperwork signed. But with the transfer window running until early September and Rangers continuing to balance incomings against a string of high-profile departures, supporters will be watching closely to see whether Kim’s arrival becomes the next official confirmation from the club. For now, it stands as one of the more exciting stories building around Ibrox this week.
