Matija Frigan Rangers Move? Ibrox Giants Eye 14-Goal Striker
Could Matija Frigan be Rangers’ next big signing?
The Matija Frigan Rangers links are gaining momentum. The 21-year-old striker scored 14 goals this season for Westerlo. Now, Rangers are eyeing a move to bring him to Ibrox. Manager Russell Martin wants more firepower up front — and Frigan fits the bill.
Who is Matija Frigan?
Frigan, 21, is currently plying his trade at K.V.C. Westerlo in Belgium. He joined them from HNK Rijeka in a €5.5 million move two years ago and has steadily made a name for himself in the Jupiler Pro League.
This season alone, the Croatian forward notched up 14 goals and 4 assists in 41 appearances – impressive numbers for a young striker adapting to a new league.
Why Rangers Are Interested
Rangers have lacked a consistent goal threat up front, and Frigan’s movement, finishing, and physicality could make him an ideal addition at Ibrox. With Danilo recovering and Cyriel Dessers’ inconsistency, a fresh injection of quality is crucial.
According to stats from Futmob, Frigan averaged 2.3 shots per game, with a conversion rate of 18%. He’s also known for his work rate, averaging 6.8 duels won per match – a trait that fits the intense pressing system under Russell Martin.
Competing with HSV
Frigan has also received an offer from 2. Bundesliga side Hamburg SV, who are looking to rebuild after missing out on promotion again. But Rangers’ European football and passionate fanbase could be a tempting alternative for the striker.
Could He Be the Next Big Hit?
With his age, goal record, and room to grow, Matija Frigan ticks a lot of boxes for Rangers. If the club can strike a deal, fans could be treated to a rising talent ready to light up the Scottish Premiership.
