DEAL AGREE:Rangers have officially sealed the signing of a dynamic young defender, hailed as “the next Bassey”, in a move that has electrified the Ibrox faithful.

The new recruit, whose physical presence and explosive pace mirror Calvin Bassey’s breakout impact, arrives amid growing comparisons to the Nigerian international who became a cult hero at Rangers before his high-profile move to Ajax.

The club’s recruitment team has been tracking the versatile talent for months, with negotiations accelerating in recent weeks to fend off interest from top European sides. Now confirmed, the deal signals Rangers’ renewed intent to build a powerful backline ahead of a vital domestic and European campaign.

Speaking after the announcement, the club’s director of football said: “We see echoes of Bassey in his style – aggressive, fearless, and built for the big stage. He has the potential to become a cornerstone at Ibrox.”

Fans are already drawing comparisons, and excitement is mounting as the newcomer prepares to debut in pre-season friendlies. With Rangers aiming to reclaim top spot in Scotland and make a deep run in Europe, this signing could be a defining moment of the summer window.
