da esport bet： Glasgow Rangers central midfielder Nicolas Raskin is one of the players whose future is up in the air now that the January transfer window is open for business.

da realsbet： It was reported last month that Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Belgium international ahead of the second half of the season.

At the time of that report, it was claimed that the Gers are likely to cash in on the central midfielder if a team comes in with an attractive offer for the former Standard Liege star.

However, it remains to be seen whether or not any club, Spurs or another side, are willing to put a bid on the table to snap him up this month.

Rangers eyeing move for Premiership star

Irrespective of whether or not Raskin remains at Ibrox or moves on before the end of the window, the Light Blues are reportedly in the market to add to their options in his position.

According to The Scottish Sun, Danny Rohl is interested in signing Motherwell central midfielder Elliot Watt for Glasgow Rangers in the January transfer window.

The report claims that the Gers are eyeing a possible swoop for the Scottish star to bolster their ranks in the middle of the park for the second half of the season and beyond.

It confirms that the Scottish Premiership giants are yet to make contact with Motherwell to discuss a deal for the 25-year-old ace, but they are keeping tabs on his situation.

The Scottish Sun adds that he penned a two-year contract with the club last summer, which means that he only has 18 months left to run on his deal and Rangers could look to take advantage of that to make their move now.

Why Rangers should sign Elliot Watt

The Light Blues must press ahead with a deal to sign Watt before the end of the January transfer window because he could be a big upgrade on Raskin in the middle of the park.

With the Belgian’s future at Ibrox in doubt, signing a midfielder who could come through the door as an instant upgrade on him could be a shrewd move by Rangers to mitigate the potential blow of losing Raskin further down the line.

Watt’s performances for Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership this season suggest that he can be that instant upgrade on the current Gers star, as he has been in phenomenal form at Fir Park.

The 25-year-old talent scored his third goal of the league campaign earlier this week in a 2-0 win against Celtic for Motherwell, as shown in the clip above, with a composed finish after Kasper Schmeichel’s mistake.

Watt was described as the “best midfielder in the league” this season by Rangers supporter and analyst Kai Watson, and his statistics in comparison to Raskin’s explain why he may hold that opinion.

As you can see in the table above, the Motherwell star offers a similar threat at the top end of the pitch, as a scorer and as a creator, but he has been more impressive at winning the ball back for his side.

The English-born midfielder has shown that he can excel in and out of possession as a classy operator in the middle of the park, as he can win the ball back at an impressive rate, complete his passes efficiently, and carry a threat in the final third.

Watt is, therefore, an incredibly well-rounded midfielder who has the quality to offer even more to the team than Raskin, particularly when it comes to recovering the ball to create more attacks for his side.

The Motherwell star, whose 7.74 Sofascore rating leads the way in the entire Premiership, could also hit the ground running because he is a proven performer in the Scottish top-flight who would not need any time to adjust to the country or league.
