Rangers are reportedly close to signing a new “sensation” in a deal that bears similarities to their previous signing of Calvin Bassey. According to Football FanCast, journalist Joshua Barrie claims that Glasgow Rangers will make more signings from domestic markets, including Scotland and England, than they did last summer.

Potential Signing

While the exact identity of the new signing is not specified, recent reports suggest that Rangers are interested in signing talented young players. One potential target is Zebedee Lawson, a 16-year-old forward from Brighton who has impressed with three goals and one assist in 13 U18 Premier League games. Rangers have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Lawson, who would be a significant coup for the Scottish giants.

Comparison to Calvin Bassey

The comparison to Calvin Bassey implies that the new signing shares similar qualities to the former Rangers defender. Bassey, who joined Rangers from Leicester City in 2020, was a highly-rated player who played 50 times for the club before moving to Ajax in a deal worth over £20 million. Like Bassey, the new signing might possess a unique combination of skills, pace, and aggression that would make them an attractive target for Rangers.

Rangers’ Transfer Strategy

Rangers’ transfer strategy appears focused on identifying and signing talented young players who can contribute to the team’s success. With the club looking to qualify for the Champions League and reclaim the Scottish Premiership title, manager Philippe Clement will be keen to strengthen his squad with players who can make an immediate impact.

Recent Signings

Rangers have already made several signings this summer, including ¹:
– Max Aarons: The right-back has completed his medical and is finalizing his move to Rangers.
– Cyriel Dessers: The Nigerian striker joined Rangers from Cremonese on a four-year deal.
– Abdallah Sima: The forward signed with Rangers earlier this summer.
– Sam Lammers: Another forward who has joined the club recently.

These signings demonstrate Rangers’ commitment to building a strong and competitive squad. With the potential signing of a new “sensation,” Rangers fans can expect more exciting developments in the transfer window.
