Rangers and West Ham contact on the way for January transfers

Beşiktaş preparing fourth attempt to sign Rangers midfielder Raskin after three failed bids; also targeting West Ham defender Mavropanos.

Beşiktaş are renewing their pursuit of Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin in January after three previous failed attempts, most recently in the summer when the move collapsed at the final stage. The Turkish club are also targeting West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos as they look to strengthen in the winter market. Raskin, 25, expressed frustration last month about the collapsed summer move but indicated his desire to leave Rangers. Beşiktaş plan to use summer signing Leandro Trossard, Raskin's Belgian compatriot, as part of their approach.
