Midfielder Nico Raskin could be tempted to leave Rangers if interest from Tottenham Hotspur materialises into something stronger, according to Football Insider.

In what was, by comparison to their lofty standards, a bleak 2024/25 season for Rangers, Raskin was one of the few bright spots. The Belgian international was an integral part of the first team, notching 16 goal contributions across all competitions and generally being involved in most positive moments for the Glaswegians.

Under Russell Martin, however, the midfielder struggled for first-team minutes, a stance that baffled supporters, who continued to view Raskin as one of their best talents. Martin has since been sacked after a turgid stint in charge of Rangers, who are still searching for their new permanent manager.

Due to his lack of minutes, rumours about Raskin's future have circulated for some time, with it now seeming that the midfielder could indeed depart Ibrox in the coming months.

Spurs Could Sway Raskin

As per Football Insider, Raskin is currently "content" at Rangers, having found his way back into the first team. There are "concerns," however, that interest from some of Europe's more elite clubs, such as Tottenham Hotspur, could prove too tempting for Raskin to ignore.

Spurs have made a strong start to life under the management of Thomas Frank, who replaced the Europa League-winning Ange Postecoglou in the summer. In the transfer window, the Lilywhites signed Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich, along with creative duo Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus.

Whilst the latter two of the trio can play in the number 10, Raskin, dubbed a "phenomenal" player, would offer further depth to their central midfield positions. Though already well-stocked with the likes of Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma, it could be argued that Raskin would bring a different dimension to the club's midfield, were he to sign for them.
