Rangers have stepped up their pursuit of Hammarby IF right-back Hampus Skoglund, but they’re far from alone in the race. The 22-year-old Swede has attracted interest from across Europe, with Schalke, FSV Mainz 05, Wrexham, and Girona all circling the same target.
The club’s new sporting director has been driving the push, making intensified contact with Skoglund’s representatives as Rangers look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season.
Who is Hampus Skoglund?
Born on March 1, 2004, Skoglund is a right-back who has developed into a first-team regular at Hammarby in Sweden’s top flight, the Allsvenskan. At just 22, he’s already racked up 64 senior appearances for the Stockholm club.
His current market valuation sits at approximately €2.2 million. Any deal would likely land somewhere in the £2-3 million range.
