Striker Filip Sebo is reportedly a target for new Ibrox boss Paul Le Guen.

Sebo scored 22 goals last season for his current club Austria Vienna and Le Guen has lined him up in case he cannot land top striking target Johan Elmander of Brondby.

Elmander is currently with the Swedish squad that face England in the World Cup on Tuesday and his former Feyenoord team-mate Thomas Buffel is hoping that he joins him at Rangers.

Buffel told the Mail on Sunday: "Johan is very fast, quite powerful and a big lad who can be dangerous.

"Of course, everyone has to prove themselves in another team and another competition, but I think he has the ability to play for Rangers."

[James de Bear]

Lots?

Him being the Second.

sorry i thought sionko came from there

[James de Bear]

He did but that only made him the first to be linked from Autria Vienna. Maybe if we were linked to another two then I'd say we had been linked to lots of players there.

AUSTRIA VIENNA hitman Filip Sebo has begged Paul Le Guen to up his £1.2million offer so he can fulfil a dream switch to Ibrox.

And last night Sebo moved closer to clinching a deal when Rangers' French boss admitted his interest in the Slovak after watching his side kick-start their pre-season tour of South Africa with a 4-0 victory over Jomo Select.

But the bad news for Le Guen is that he could be without Chris Burke for a month.

Burke will miss the start of the season after going over on his ankle while training at the team's base in Johannesburg.

Record Sport can reveal Rangers have tabled a £1.2m bid for Sebo but the Austrians are holding out for £2m.

Sebo is one of several strikers Le Guen is looking at after failing to land Swedish World Cup star Johan Elmander, who signed for Toulouse last week.

Sebo is desperate to join the Le Guen revolution where he would link up with former Austria Vienna team-mate Libor Sionko.

The striker said: "I want to sign for Rangers but there's just one problem - the clubs cannot agree my transfer fee.

"I know Rangers and Vienna have had meetings but they have not reached an agreement. It is my dream to play for Rangers."

Charlie Adam netted a hat-trick last night and a goal from Kris Boyd sealed Rangers' win in the first match of three during their stay in South Africa.

But Le Guen knows that at least four new players have to be signed and the highly-rated Sebo is on his radar.

When asked if Sebo could arrive soon, Le Guen said:"We will see."

that aint good about burke :(

[Blunt83]

Apparently Vienna have set a deadline for the next 48 hours for us to improve our offer.The Austrian league season commences on Tuesday so they must be wanting this situation resolved as soon as possible quite rightly so.

Hopefully we'll sort out a deal as I hate long drawn out transfer talks and then after weeks nothing happens.
