Jelavic waiting on Gers switch

Rapid Vienna striker Nikica Jelavic remains hopeful of joining Rangers after revealing he wants to eventually play in England. Rangers have seen a £3.5million offer for Jelavic rejected and Rapid are currently reluctant to sell the Croatia international.Talks are reportedly ongoing regarding a potential deal and Jelavic is keen to step up a level by leaving Rapid to move to Ibrox."The Scottish league is stronger than the Austrian league and Rangers are a great club," said Jelavic in the Daily Record."But I've always been honest and I've never hidden my desire to one day play in the English Premier League because it is the best in the world."At this moment I remain a Rapid Vienna player and a professional."I want to do the very best I can for this club until someone tells me otherwise. That's all I can say at this time."However, the Austrian club's sporting director Alfred Hoertnagl remains uncertain about whether Rapid will agree a deal to sell Jelavic to Rangers.Hoertnagl said: "There are still too many points that are open, even from the player's side."I don't want to make any comment about sums or fees."I'm not sure if a deal can go through at all. As long as the transfer window is open these issues and themes will always be on the table."
