Rangers boss Michael Beale has revealed the club have a pre-contract agreement in place with LAFC midfielder Jose Cifuentes.
The 24-year old has been heavily linked with a move to Ibrox and the manager has now confirmed they have settled on personal terms with the player.
Beale says they now hope to strike a deal with the MLS club to bring the Ecuador international in this window.
He told Sky Sports: "It is getting closer. Again, there's logistic with that one and work permits and everything else that goes in between it.
"The clubs are still talking. He's out of contract at the end of the year and we have an agreement for that.
"We would like to bring it to close early so he can join us in this window.
"Those discussions are ongoing".
Danilo Talks
Beale also confirmed talks are ongoing with Feyenoord over the potential transfer of striker Danilo.
Various reports suggest the club have put in a second offer of £5million for the Brazilian.
The Ibrox boss said: "There are talks in the background on that one.
"But he's Feyenoord's player at the moment and they're also building after a really successful campaign last year.
"We'll keep that between the two clubs at the moment and if there is any news we'll update.
"He's obviously a good player".
