After officially unveiling the arrival of Nasser Djiga, Glasgow Rangers are looking to sign yet another Ibrox transfer target, who has already met Russell Martin and passed his medical.
Thelwell “delighted” to sign Djiga for Rangers
As first summers go, Kevin Thelwell has certainly enjoyed an impressive start to life at Ibrox. After hiring Martin to finally end Rangers’ managerial search, the new Gers sporting director instantly turned his attention towards the transfer market and has since welcomed as many as seven fresh faces in Scotland.

With five of the seven new faces arriving from English football, Thelwell’s preference has been made clear very early on in his Rangers tenure.
After welcoming yet another talent from the Premier League in the form of Djiga, the sporting director told Rangers’ official website: “We are delighted to bring Nasser to the club on a season-long loan.
“He is a player with the necessary physical and mental profile to flourish both domestically and in Europe, and we look forward to seeing his development under Russell and his coaching staff.”
The defender, himself, was also delighted to put pen to paper on his loan move to Scotland, saying: “I am very happy to join Rangers, it is one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and in Europe. I will try to give everything, to play every game and I think it is the best team for me. I just want to play and enjoy football with the team.”
Thelwell, the 49ers and Rangers have not stopped there, however. Reports are now suggesting that they want to sign a sixth player from English football after he completed his medical.
Gassama completes Rangers medical but may not seal Ibrox move
As reported by The Star’s Joe Crann, Djeidi Gassama has now completed his Rangers medical and met Martin and the Gers players ahead of joining the Scottish Premiership giants. Whilst he isn’t quite a Rangers player just yet, the Sheffield Wednesday winger has been pictured in the Gers’ training gear and those at Ibrox are just waiting on one final signature after reaching an agreement.
That may not come, though, with updates since saying Gassama’s move to Rangers is now facing collapse with those at Hillsborough ready to pull the plug on a deal.
As analyst John Walker pointed out, Rangers have every reason to be excited by the potential prospect of Gassama’s arrival. The winger scored eight goals and assisted one more in all competitions for Sheffield Wednesday last season to show the potential that Danny Rohl noticed in 2023.
The Owls boss told reporters after handing Gassama his first start: “I think with Gass it was his first start in the XI, and he has so much potential. He has to improve with his load so he can do it for 90 minutes, but that’s a normal process if you don’t play much in the past.

With Russell Martin having already made six summer signings so far, Rangers are now targeting an “incredible” talent on loan.
“But he has a weapon, he’s good one against one, and he’s also quick to make good movements between the lines and in the pockets. I’m happy with him.”
