In January’s update, Mohamed Diomande starts the procedure to complete his Rangers move.

Rangers and FC Nordsjaelland are closing close on a £4.5 million deal for Mohamed Diomande, according to Scott Burns.

On Sunday, January 21, Danish publication B.T. published the first story stating that the two teams had reached a consensus over a January transfer.

Scottish Express Sport writer Burns shared a further update on his personal Twitter account on Tuesday (23 January) regarding

Diomande, who has been hailed as “incredible” by coach John Walker.

He declared, “Rangers will pay a fee of approximately £4.5 million to sign Nordsjaelland’s Mohamed Diomande.”

“Player is wrapping up his transfer to Ibrox.”

Even if there have been a few days since the initial reports of an agreement were made public, there is no reason to be concerned about

the delay in making an official statement.

Following his return flight from the US training camp of his present club, Diomande needed to finalize his personal terms with the

Gers and clear a number of medical clearances.

Based on Burns’ update, it appears that we have reached that point. If that is the case, Diomande will be the next January newcomer to

pass through the Ibrox entrance after Fabio Silva.

The club obviously likes the way the Ivorian looks, but the £4.5 million price tag is a bit of a surprise considering it was previously

believed a deal under the £2 million threshold had been agreed upon.

He will undoubtedly be a fantastic player if this acquisition has Philippe Clement’s blessing or was

really chosen by the Belgian player.

Hopefully, there will be space for a third and final arrival during the last week or so of the window,

once this second agreement closes.
