As reported by The Sun, Rangers are lining up a January move for Bournemouth midfielder Emerson Hyndman.

What's the story?

The Light Blues have already produced a fairly exciting transfer window for supporters, signing the likes of Jamie Murphy, Jason Cummings and Russell Martin in their bid to build a team that can compete with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

It seems though that their business is far from done.

The Sun report that they are ready to make a move for American Emerson Hyndman, a year after the midfielder enjoyed a successful loan spell at Ibrox.

The paper say a similar deal is in the offing, with Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe set to sanction another loan deal to allow the player to find regular first team football.

Can he make an impact?

Rated at £900,000 by Transfermarkt, Hyndman has again failed to win his way into Bournemouth's first team this season, finding his action limited to just three appearances in the two English cup competitions.

Last season he was in a similar situation come January and moved to Rangers to provide an instant attacking spark to their central midfield area. He provided four goals and four assists in 17 appearances for the Light Blues, proving to be very capable indeed at Scottish Premiership level.

While the incoming Pedro Caixinha may have chosen to largely overlook him, he can again make a similar impact this season, with Rangers midfield rather defence minded and lacking real creativity.

Rangers have utilised loan deals well this month and Hyndman can be the latest to give Graeme Murty's squad a boost.
