Rangers ‘interested in Armenia international star’ on books of Premier League club ahead of summer transfer rebuild

The 18-year-old was born in England but represents Armenia, where his father is from.
He featured for Armenia at youth level but was fast-tracked into the senior squad earlier this year.
Gergusyan is currently on the books at Sunderland and has 35 goal contributions over the last two seasons with the Black Cats‘ youth teams.
He is a Sunderland fan having grown up in County Durham and this past season he scored 13 goals in 29 appearances, adding a further three assists.
Last season he notched 12 goals and seven assists across 31 matches.
The striker is out of contract at the Stadium of Light in the summer and according to the Sunderland Echo, Rangers have lodged an interest in acquiring his services.
Sunderland are understood to have opened talks with Gergusyan but the Wearside club face competition from several EFL clubs as well as Gers.
Gergusyan, who can also play on the right wing, is unlikely to feature regularly for Sunderland at the moment in the Premier League with several more experienced players ahead of him.
Netherlands international Brian Brobbey joined the club for £21.6m last summer, with Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor also among the goals.
Head coach Regis Le Bris can also call upon Nilson Angulo, Bertrand Traore and Chemsine Talbi in wide areas.
Wingers Romain Mundle and Jocelin Ta Bi, who were linked with Rangers and Celtic respectively this season, are also part of the first team squad at the club.
