Fulham and West Ham United are both understood to have bid around £6 million for the highly-rated Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic.
Fulham are desperate to improve their strike force with significant questions marks over the future of Bobby Zamora and, more immediately, Andy Johnson who is out of contract this summer
Jelavic, 26, has been a revelation this season in Scottish football, scoring 17 goals and Rangers are understood to be considering replacements for him should a deal be struck.
Rangers claimed they rejected a bid of £6.5 million from Leicester City for Jelavic last summer and also an offer of £9 million from an unnamed club shortly before the transfer window closed. Jelavic later said that he had rejected an approach from the Turkish club, Fenerbahce.
A bid of £5 million cash but £1 million based on appearances is understood to have been submitted by West Ham who are keen to bolster their attacking options and have been thwarted in their attempts to sign Huddersfield Town's Jordan Rhodes or Cardiff City's Peter Whittingham.
