Rangers’ Transfer Strategy Unveiled
Nils Koppen, the Director of Football Recruitment for Rangers, recently discussed the club’s transfer strategy and the importance of being creative in securing new players. With the departure of 15 members from Philippe Clement’s squad, including key players like Connor Goldson and John Lundstram, the club underwent a significant rebuild during the summer. Koppen emphasized the need to bring the average age of the squad down and attract players with the right hunger and personality to represent the club.
In a recent interview with RangersTV, Koppen highlighted the club’s ambitious plan for the summer transfer window. Despite not being able to execute all aspects of the plan, the club managed to make 11 new signings, including experienced players like Nedim Barjami and younger talents like Jefte. Koppen expressed satisfaction with the squad and the progress made during the summer.
One of the key aspects of Rangers’ recruitment strategy is to look for talent worldwide, while also paying attention to the local market in Scotland. Koppen stressed the importance of finding players who can handle the demands of the club and raise the standards on and off the pitch. The club aims to target individuals who possess a burning desire to succeed, regardless of their age or background.
Assessing the personality and mentality of potential signings is a crucial aspect of the recruitment process. Koppen mentioned the challenges of evaluating players in different circumstances and emphasized the need for in-person meetings and discussions with the manager. Finding players who can thrive in the intense atmosphere of Ibrox Stadium is a priority for the club.
Overall, Rangers’ transfer strategy focuses on a balance of youth and experience, as well as a global approach to talent acquisition. By seeking out players with the right mix of hunger, desire, and winning mentality, the club aims to strengthen its squad and compete at the highest level.
