Rangers in Boumsong chase

Jean Alain Boumsong in action for France
Rangers manager Alex McLeish has confirmed that he is interested in signing French international defender Jean Alain Boumsong.

The powerful 24-year-old has made two appearances for France this year and scored in October's 3-0 win over Israel.

Boumsong has been at Auxerre since 2000 but has made it clear he intends to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.

"He's a player I have been aware of for some time and a player I admire," McLeish said when quizzed about Boumsong at Monday's press conference.

However, Rangers, who will lose the services of Norwegian centre half Henning Berg in the summer, are sure to face competition for the signature of Boumsong from a host of top European clubs.

Houllier is putting a brave face on it - cant blame your man for going where he felt most wanted.

Cool it there Dino or the ban will be reinstated and lengthened. Racism will definitely not be tolerated, this is your final warning.

I'm gutted, really thought he'd be playing for Liverpool next season. With Henchoz out of contracty next summer and no mention of an extension on the contract it kinda looks like GH is looking for a new centre half. But where will he get one that is as young and good as Boumsong to partner Sami. I doubt Mexas will join but it would be nice if he did

jEt|Dino · 10-12-2003 1:40pm

sorry about that i wasnt been racist, jst fed up of premadona french players that are destroying our club

Any Club with uncertanties about a manager is going to have difficulties attracting players.

bomberuski · 10-12-2003 2:57pm

Don't believe what you read in the papers. He has'nt signed for Rangers yet, just had talks. There is very little chance of a French International joining any scottish club, especially when they can't even qualify for the UEFA cup. I think Liverpool should try to sign a quality defender like Gary Breen instead.

Only joking.......................

jonno · 10-12-2003 3:37pm

Well bomberuski Boumsong himself has confirmed it here. That's why I'm gutted.

Anyone have any idea who GH might start chasing instead of him.

I have to admit to being a bit devastated about this, and to Rangers of all clubs. His logic is that he is guaranteed Champions League football, but they get kicked out before the the knockout stages every year. However, with Rangers in dire straights money wise, will they be able to afford his wage bill? Seemingly they have to sell a number of players soon.
