Rangers may be on the verge of uncovering their next great wide forward, with rising star Djeidi Gassama increasingly drawing comparisons to former Ibrox favourite Ryan Kent. Early performances, coupled with glowing internal reviews, have sparked belief that the 21-year-old could offer an even more explosive dimension to Danny Rohl’s attack.
Gassama arrived at Ibrox with a reputation for blistering pace and fearless one-on-one ability, traits that made Kent a standout during his peak years in Glasgow. But insiders at Rangers claim the former PSG academy talent brings an extra layer of unpredictability and a more natural eye for goal — attributes that could elevate the team’s attacking threat as the season progresses.
Rohl is understood to be hugely impressed by the youngster’s impact in training, with the manager privately describing Gassama as “electrifying” and capable of becoming a game-changer in the Scottish Premiership. His ability to burst past defenders, commit opposition backlines, and strike early from wide areas has already placed him in contention for a regular starting role.
Supporters have quickly picked up on the buzz. Footage of Gassama’s direct running and sharp footwork has circulated heavily among the fanbase, prompting excitement reminiscent of Kent’s breakout spell under Steven Gerrard. But many believe the new recruit offers a higher ceiling — especially in terms of end product.
With Rangers seeking renewed creativity and penetration from the flanks, Gassama’s emergence could not be more timely. While comparisons to Kent set a high bar, those inside the club feel the young winger has the potential not just to match his predecessor, but possibly surpass him.
If early signs are anything to go by, Rangers may have landed an upgrade who can spark the same excitement — and maybe deliver even more.
