SLAVIA Prague star Marek Suchy has said he would like to try his luck abroad as he admitted Rangers want to sign him.

The 20-year-old, one of the stars of last year's Under-20 World Cup in Canada, told a Czech newspaper: "I have to admit that I am attracted by playing abroad."

And he added: "I would like to try football also in another country, and if it happens, I would be happy to go to Scotland."

Suchy helped Slavia to win the Czech league last season and played his part in Europe as the club embarked on their first Champions League campaign.

The centre-back confirmed Rangers interest in his services and said: "I do not know anything concrete, I do not know details, but I do not want to pretend I have not heard anything.

"My agent, Pavel Vandas, told me how the things are and the Scottish are interested. We shall see how it goes."

But he added: "If I stay in Slavia I will not be angry, though. I am glad to be here.

Czech Republic defender Marek Suchy claims Rangers have shown an interest in signing him from Slavia Prague.

The promising centre-half has been linked with a £2.5million move to Ibrox after impressing for Slavia in the past couple of seasons.

Suchy is keen to play in a foreign league and is now waiting to see if Rangers manager Walter Smith comes in with a bid.

"I know nothing specific," Suchy, who has previously been linked with Everton, told deniksport.cz.

"I don't know the details, on the other hand I will not act like I know nothing at all.

"My agent Pavel Vandas told me how things were and that Rangers are interested. But we have to wait and see how it will turn out.

"I must say that I am tempted to play in a foreign league. I would like to taste football elsewhere.

"If it works out, I would be happy to go to Scotland.

"If I stay at Slavia, though, I will not be angry because I like it here and we still have a lot to play for, and I believe it will be a good season again." Source - Sky Sports News
