Rangers midfielder Ianis Hagi is a target for Tottenham and Manchester City, according to the player's agent.

The 21-year-old, son of Romanian football legend Gheorghe Hagi who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, has been linked with a summer move to the English giants.

Hagi has impressed under Steven Gerrard since arriving on loan from Genk in January, providing three goals and an assist in 10 games.

Rangers hold the option to make the move permanent once the season concludes, though agent Giovani Becali claims a number of top European sides are chasing his client's signature.

"I have been asked personally by Jose Mourinho and Txiki Begiristain about Ianis Hagi," Becali told Sky Sports.

"They wanted to know about him and how he was getting on. There's a lot of top people in European football who know all about Ianis and what he can do.

"I happen to think Ianis is on a good plan at Rangers. I think Rangers will sign him because he is a player who has that little extra piece of creativity and skill.

"He has many other qualities and is actually more graceful than his father ever was. He runs like a gazelle compared to him!

"I think he is improving all the time at Rangers. He will continue to get better if he signs for them I think."
