Rangers have opened talks with Connor Goldson after agreeing a £3million fee with Brighton - but they will have to wait to land Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria.
It is understood Gers finally reached an acceptable valuation for Seagulls centre-back Goldson at lunchtime on Wednesday following weeks of back-and-forth haggling.
That has now paved the way for Ibrox chiefs to start negotiations with the 25-year-old and his representatives.
The Light Blues are confident he can be persuaded to join Steven Gerrard's revolution but, with a medical still to be organised, they do not expect the deal to be signed off until early next week.
