Exclusive: New Rangers Boss Danny Röhl Eyes Leicester Striker Patson Daka Move

New Rangers boss Danny Röhl is lining up a move for Leicester City striker Patson Daka, soon rather than later, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal.

German coach Röhl replaced Russell Martin at the Gers’ managerial help this week after the long-running saga for the club’s new boss finally reached an end.

And Foxes’ hitman Daka is just one of a list of new signings Röhl is ready to try and land when the opportunity to sign new players.

The experienced Zambia international marksman is currently in the fifth and final year of his contract at the Kingpower Stadium.

And our sources have learnt that Röhl has made his feelings known that the 51-cap international is a player he would love to bring to Ibrox.

Daka, 27, has played three seasons for the Foxes in the Premier League but has started just three league games in 11 league matches this term in the Championship as the club look to win promotion back to the top-flight.

PERFECT PLATFORM

The striker has yet to score this season in 15 appearances in all competitions, but Rohl believes the striker would be a perfect fit for Scottish football.

And it’s little surprise the former Sheffield Wednesday coach is hungry to bolster his strike force as he looks to improve what has so far been a poor start to the season under former manager Martin.

SportsBoom revealed earlier this year that Daka was destined for a move abroad with his tenure at the club drawing to a close next summer.

But we have discovered a move to Scotland is something the striker would certainly consider as he looks for regular football.

Former England international and Leicester fan Gary Lineker once labelled Daka the “real deal”, but his £23million move to the Foxes has not been as big a success as many supporters would have hoped.

But a move to Scotland, which likely to be considerable reduction to his £75,000-a-week wage, could now prove to the perfect platform to resurrect his career.
