And the Gers want to bring reinforcements in attack with the signings of Cantwell and Whitaker.
Norwich’s Cantwell burst onto the scene for the Canaries during their Championship promotion season of 2018-19, before also impressing in the following Premier League campaign as he netted six times.
Norwich were relegated that year, but rose again as champions the following season under the brilliant attacking midfielder.
However, he fell out of favor last season and spent time on loan at Bournemouth, but was unable to score while with the Cherries.
Rangers boss Michael Beale is eager to bring in players to close the nine-point gap with Celtic.
He rejoined the team this year but has failed to score or assist in 18 games and Cantwell hasn’t featured since before the World Cup.
And now it looks like he will be leaving his boyhood club with Beale confirming that the clubs are in talks.
Speaking earlier this week about Cantwell’s potential move, the Rangers boss said: ‘I’m very happy with the way things are moving. No news does not mean bad news.
Cantwell was one of the brighter prospects at Norwich but has struggled in recent seasons.
Whittaker is also being hounded by Rangers after shining on loan at high-flying League One side Plymouth for the first half of the campaign.
The full-back scored nine goals and added seven assists during his time at Home Park and Beale also confirmed the club’s interest in him.
He explained: ‘He is a player we know. I think he is a good player. He is definitely a player I know.
We are looking at all areas, but obviously we want to bring more goals to the club. We need scorers in the building.
