Arsenal, Chelsea chase Rangers’ Fernandez

Arsenal and Chelsea have entered the race to sign Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers Fernandez ahead of the 2026 summer window, with both London clubs monitoring the Nigeria international’s form in Scotland.

The 29-year-old forward has impressed in the Scottish Premiership this season, hitting double figures in goals and playing a key role in Rangers’ title push. Scouts from both Premier League sides were reportedly present at recent matches as interest intensified.

“He’s been outstanding for us,” a Rangers source told local media, praising his movement and finishing. Fernandez has also attracted attention for his physical presence and ability to deliver in big games.

While Rangers are reluctant to lose a key attacker mid-project, financial considerations could shape negotiations. “Every player has value, but we want to keep our core,” a club official admitted.

With Arsenal seeking more depth up front and Chelsea reshaping their attack, Fernandez’s future could become one of the summer’s intriguing transfer stories.
