Rangers transfer ‘delayed’ by Storm Isha as timescale revealed

Although Storm Isha is causing chaos in the UK, Rangers’ agreement to buy FC Nordsjaelland midfielder Mohamed Diomande has

apparently been delayed. Nevertheless, the weather won’t ultimately ruin their deal.

According to reports from Denmark over the weekend, Rangers have agreed to a fee for the Ivorian midfielder. The player is leaving

Nordsjaelland’s mid-season training base in the USA early to join Philippe Clement’s team in anticipation

of what might be a fantastic second half of the season.

Having featured heavily for the Danish Superliga side, even wearing the captain’s armband on occasion and being a bright spark in

their team in a Europa Conference League campaign that’s seen them beat Fenerbahce 6-1 at home,

Diomande has been touted as a top signing for the Light Blues amid an injury crisis.

However, the Rangers Review claims that the potential player will have to wait an extra few days as he struggles to get to Glasgow due

to a flurry of planes that have been either canceled or diverted due to the storm.

Transfers in the UK have previously been derailed by bad weather; this was most famously the case in 2011 when Blackburn Rovers

were scheduled to sign Robert Lewandowski, a striker from Lech Poznan, following the explosion of an Icelandic volcano. Due to the

grounded planes, he decided to join Borussia Dortmund instead, and from then on, you would hope, he had a respectable career.

However, Rangers supporters don’t have to worry about a situation similar to this one because the 22-year-old will arrive at Ibrox

prior to the deadline closing in less than two weeks.
