Steven Davis, Jordan Jones, Jake Hastie and Greg Stewart have all joined Rangers on permanent deals during the summer and started pre-season training yesterday.
Ojo could be joined at Ibrox by Anfield team-mate Ryan Kent, who has already spent a successful season on loan at Rangers. Gerrard still hopes to tie up the winger for another campaign despite interest from elsewhere.
Rangers also hope to secure a deal for the out-of-contract Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo. Oldham Athletic defender George Edmundson is another target who remains on Gerrard’s radar.
Among those training yesterday was Alfredo Morelos. The striker has been the subject of transfer speculation after scoring 30 goals in all competitions last season.
Rangers could be prepared to sell the 22-year-old striker having been denied his services for a number of games last season due to disciplinary problems.
Veteran forward Jermain Defoe, who replaced Morelos in the side towards the end of the last campaign, was back in training yesterday ahead of the second season of his loan arrangement with Bournemouth.
The Ibrox side begin their competitive season with a Europa League qualifier on 11 July.
