Player to jet into Glasgow before transfer deadline as Rangers agree ‘Exciting’ deal

Mohamed Diomande work permit update: New Rangers signing hit with delay as midweek news emerges from Ibrox

Mohamed Diomande, the new Rangers signing, is scheduled to arrive in Glasgow by the middle of next week,

says Charlie Gordon.

The Daily Express journalist posted on his X account (27 January) that the 22-year-old’s arrival to Ibrox is still “slightly delayed” since he is still waiting for a work permit.

According to Rangers’ official X account (26 January),

the club has signed Diomande on loan from FC Nordsjaelland until the end of the season,

with the option to make the move permanent in the summer for an unknown cost.

The 22-year-old, who is well regarded in Denmark,

is still held up and will arrive in Glasgow once his work permit application is approved.

Gordon wrote: “Mohamed Diomande is highly rated in Denmark – an exciting move for Rangers.”

“Understand he’s expected in Glasgow by the middle of next week – 22yo’s arrival is slightly delayed as he’s still awaiting a work permit.”

Rangers have recently completed a big transfer coup,

acquiring exactly the type of player Philippe Clement requires to strengthen his midfield ranks at Ibrox.

Diomande has long been one of Denmark’s most valuable midfield assets,

and it’s surprising that none of Europe’s most prestigious clubs have made a bid for him.

Rangers have a great exciting talent in Diomande, who is only 22 years old and has played 13 games for Nordsjaelland this season,

recording three assists.

A midfielder has always been a top priority at Ibrox this January due to concerns with squad depth and crucial player injuries,

which have frequently resulted in Dujon Sterling filling in outside of his customary right-back position.

Diomande arrives to Ibrox with enormous promise and the potential to be an instant hit and fan favourite among Rangers fans,

with excellent technical ability, vision, and a workhorse-like mentality that the Gers have desperately needed for some time.

However, due to his work visa status, the Gers will have to wait a little longer to see him formally at Ibrox,

but given Brexit and EU constraints, this should be a formality.

Rangers are still looking for a new left-back and striker,

but Diomande’s signing should thrill the Light Blues fans as they try to maintain their upward trajectory under Clement’s direction.
