According to Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, Glasgow Rangers have made a €4.5m (£3.8m) offer for Heerenveen midfielder Joey Veerman.

The Lowdown: Gers linked with Veerman, wants to leave

The Gers have been linked with a move for £7.65m-valued Veerman (Transfermarkt) in recent weeks and months, as have Serie A outfit Atalanta.

The midfielder has also already made it clear he is looking to depart the Eredivisie outfit this summer (nu.nl).

The Latest: Gers make offer

According to this latest report, the Gers have made their first move for 22-year-old Veerman.

It says the Ibrox outfit have made a bid of €4.5m (£3.8m), which is €1m (£850,000) less than what Atalanta have put on the table. Steven Gerrard is also said to be a big fan.

The Verdict: Making their move

Ross Wilson and co, it seems, are finally making their move for Veerman. It is a little surprising that this comes after the 55-time Scottish champions have already brought in one new midfielder in John Lundstram (rangers.co.uk), but with nine goals and 11 assists last term in all competitions (Transfermarkt), it is clear the Dutchman could offer plenty going forward.

The start of the season for the Gers is fast approaching, and they will be looking forward to getting started in the Champions League third qualifying round. The addition of Veerman would give Gerrard more confidence that his side would be able to reach the next stage of the competition.
