Qudus SalihuRangers are wasting no time in the 2026 January transfer window, as reports emerge that the Ibrox giants are in advanced talks to secure a second “genius” talent immediately following the blockbuster arrival of Tochi Chukwuani. While the £4 million capture of Chukwuani from Sturm Graz has already energized the fanbase, the latest name linked with a move to Glasgow is being touted as the undisputed bargain of the window: Belgian sensation Tuur Rommens.
The 22-year-old left-back from Westerlo is reportedly nearing a £3 million switch, a fee that many experts believe significantly undervalues his current ceiling. Rommens, a standout in the Belgian Pro League and a cornerstone of the Belgium U21 national team, is the exact profile of player Head Coach Danny Röhl has prioritized—young, tactically flexible, and possessing a high footballing IQ. After the club’s recent tactical shift under Röhl, the need for a modern, progressive defender who can dominate the left flank has become paramount.
For the Rangers faithful, the speed of this recruitment drive has been breathtaking. Following the “Martin debacle” earlier in the season, the technical department led by Dan Purdy is receiving widespread praise for identifying and closing deals for top-tier European prospects before their valuations explode. Rommens is viewed not just as a defensive addition, but as a “genius” acquisition capable of transforming the Gers’ build-up play and providing the width necessary to dismantle stubborn Scottish Premiership defenses.
If Rangers can finalize the Rommens deal alongside the confirmed signing of Chukwuani, it will represent a masterclass in mid-season rebuilding. As the club pushes to close the gap at the top of the table and prepares for a pivotal second half of the season, these two arrivals signal a bold new era of recruitment. Fans are now watching the clock, waiting for the official “Here We Go” that would confirm Rommens as the latest piece in Röhl’s Ibrox revolution.
