STEVEN GERRARD is raiding Liverpool to sign exciting prospect Ovie Ejaria for Rangers.
Gerrard has gone back to the Kop for the youngster who was on loan at Sunderland last season.
Attacking midfielder Ejaria, 20, can move out again and Gerrard expects to tie up the formalities this week.
Gerrard hopes to use his contacts to get other Liverpool talents like Ryan Kent and Harry Wilson, but Jurgen Klopp is yet to decide where they play next season.
Ejaria is far enough down the pecking order to be released.
Rangers want him in to bring him up to speed for their crucial European qualifiers next month.
Gerrard officially started in his new role on June 1 and he has been busy running the rule over potential new arrivals.
The Anfield legend was spotted in France watching England Under-21s in action against Qatar on Friday.
