Glasgow Rangers, after agreeing a deal to sign Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday, have now reportedly set their sights on bring yet another EFL player to Ibrox.
Rangers agree Ibrox deal to sign Gassama
The EFL is where it’s at as far as Rangers and Russell Martin are concerned this summer. The Gers have welcomed Thelo Aasgaard and Emmanuel Fernandez from the English Football League and have now reportedly agreed a deal to sign Gassama. Meanwhile, they’ve also welcomed two reinforcements from the Premier League in the form of Joe Rothwell and Max Aarons, rounding off quite the shopping spree in English football.
Like Aasgaard and Fernandez, Gassama represents solid business by all involved at Rangers and clearly falls under the category of player that Martin is keen to sign this summer.
The former Southampton manager recently had his say on potential arrivals, telling reporters: “The ones we think will be coming into the building in the next week or two, we’ll be so pleased with them and we still need some help.
“We also can’t be in a rush to get ones we’re not too sure about. When we do get them in, it will be down to a lot of very hard work, a lot of due diligence and we’ll make sure they are the right ones.”

The Gers are not messing about this summer…
Alas, even after Gassama, those at Ibrox may not be done with their summer business. Reports are now suggesting that the 49ers Enterprises could return to the EFL yet again to sign another talented player ahead of next season.
Rangers eyeing move to sign Abu Kamara
According to Sky Sports, Rangers are now eyeing a move to sign Abu Kamara from Hull City this summer. The winger will be available at a cut-price amid the Tigers’ ongoing financial issues, allowing the Gers to take full advantage.
After scoring six goals and assisting a further four in all competitions last time out, Kamara is another player to keep an eye on. By joining Gassama in Scotland, the 21-year-old winger would be handing Martin two fresh options within his frontline and two young stars who are still so full of potential.

Kamara has impressed everywhere he has featured and that includes during his time at Portsmouth. So much so that former teammate Conor Shaughnessy told reporters when asked about the winger last season: “Abu was brilliant for us, a really good player, talented and really grew into the season, getting stronger and stronger as he went on for us.
“Obviously, he got a good move off the back of it. Hull have had a difficult season, but it will be good to see him on Saturday. I’m sure he will be dangerous on the right wing for them.”
