Rangers have ‘purchase bond’ to sign player – Philippe Clement has intriguing deal in his grasp

Despite a lot of talk about Ridvan Yilmaz potentially leaving Rangers, the Scottish club are also working to give Philippe Clement new personnel at Ibrox.

The news of Abdallah Sima’s injury came as a big blow to the Scottish side, but they will be able to smile a bit knowing that they have signed Mohamed Diomande from FC Nordsjælland.

That’s according to BT in Denmark, who report that the Danish side have ‘sold Diomande’ to Rangers FC in the Scottish Premiership.

They state the central midfielder is ‘now a Rangers player’, and he will be loaned until the summer, at which point a ‘purchase bond’ will come into effect, meaning an obligatory option to buy.

Rangers are investing just over €5m (DKK40m) in signing the 22-year-old, who initially came from the Right to Dream academy in Ghana before excelling in the Danish league, making 111 appearances in the Superliga, scoring 13 goals and assisting another 14.

He now takes the ‘next step’ with Rangers at Ibrox, where he will ‘experience one of Europe’s most established fan bases’.

The midfielder is another of the ‘beautiful success stories’ from Nordsjælland’s academy, and it’s Philippe Clement’s side who decide to gamble on Diomande.
