RANGERS have reportedly made their first move to sign Conor Coady from Leicester City this summer.
The 10-cap England star is believed to be one of Russell Martin‘s top transfer targets as he aims to complete some quick-fire deals after taking over as Rangers boss.

Coady, 32, has spent several years playing in the English top flight and racked up 22 appearances in the Premier League this season as Leicester were relegated back to the Championship.
Sporting director Kevin Thelwell hinted at Martin’s first press conference that the club will be looking for experienced players to join their squad – and Coady ticks those boxes.
And the Daily Record now claim the Light Blues have opened talks with the Foxes over his availability.
Coady is a versatile player who can operate in midfield or as a ball-playing centre-back.

Martin’s philosophy is all about playing out from the back so he could slot into the manager’s system very well.
Coady still has a year left on his contract at the King Power Stadium but will have to take a cut after their relegation to the second tier.
The Foxes will want to cut their wage bill but Coady’s future at the club is currently unclear.
It’s particularly complicated by the fact there are still question marks over Ruud van Nistelrooy’s future as well.
Meanwhile, Rangers are also chasing Israel forward Dor Turgeman.
Turgeman is currently away with Israel on international duty but Thelwell are keen to do quick business for the attacker.
The Rangers manager is also a long-term fan of his former Swansea defender Harry Darling.
The centre half is set to become a free agent and but the Light Blues will face a fight to land him.
