BEARGER 1,829 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Two minutes in the door! Rangers star Nicolas Raskin has revealed his “ultimate dream” of playing for English Premier League giants Chelsea. The Belgian midfielder admits he decided on a move to Ibrox as it would be the best stepping stone to an eventual move to Stamford Bridge. Raskin has been one bright spark for Rangers in recent weeks amid back-to-back defeats against Celtic that leaves them facing a trophy-less season. He was one of two January signings brought in by Michael Beale alongside fellow midfielder Todd Cantwell and both have been seen as relatively successful buys during a season to forget. But, despite only four months in Glasgow, the 22-year-old isn’t planning on sticking around in Scotland for any lengthy period, with one eye already on a move south. Speaking to Brussells publication La Derniere Heure, he said: “My ultimate dream is to play in the Premier League with Chelsea. Playing in Scotland struck me as a good intermediate step. “But Rangers are still a big name in British football. Before they came in for me, I had approaches from Club Brugge and Genk. “But I think it would be a mistake for me to play for another club in Belgium, as Standard will always be the club I love most. “Other clubs were interested in me as well, but Rangers’ interest was the strongest.” 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Ro55 653 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 This is just reality. Young footballers with ambition all want to play in the EPL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 FFS is there no one at Rangers who knows when to keep his mouth shut. What sort of message does this clown think he's sending to Rangers fans. There's no excuse for this, it's pure disrespect and he just fell a long way in my estimation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Raskin hasn't shown enough yet to guarantee a move to Millwall, let alone Chelsea. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,752 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 To be fair to him, the interview was with a Belgian journalist and Raskin probably hasn't quite realised the nature of the goldfish bowl he's in yet. We all know foreign players who come here are thinking this anyway. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 4,330 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Good for him. 110 million they paid for Enzo Fernandez. I’d take that for Nico 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
