Being in this position is advantageous because there isn’t a pressing need for a left-back, but regardless of any verbal agreement, it would be wise to bring in the 20-year-old right away before he draws more attention and his price increases.

Although calling is worthwhile, we shouldn’t let it derail our efforts to bring in a striker if there’s any chance of doing so before 11:30 p.m. In any case, Rangers supporters should find the final hours to be highly engaging, Jefte or not.

Franck Haise, the coach of RC Lens, believes that Oscar Cortes’ move to Rangers is “on the right track,” as the Scottish Premiership giants are gaining ground on the £4 million forward.

A deal to sign Fluminense left-back Jefte fell through on the penultimate day of the winter transfer window because of his season-long loan at APOEL Nicosia, which prevented Philippe Clement from joining the team. However, Rangers don’t seem to have the same issues as they try to get another highly-rated 20-year-old over the finish line before tonight’s play ends.

According to The National, Oscar Cortes was in Glasgow on Wednesday.

It is anticipated that Rangers will sign the international player from Colombia prior to the deadline, bringing Cortes in on loan barely half a year after he left Millionaires for French territory.

Oscar Cortes will join the Rangers from Lens.

After turning down several offers from lower-division teams, Cortes appears eager to move to Scotland, and Lens coach Franck Haise

says that talks are moving in the right direction.

“We received offers from Ligue 2 clubs at the beginning of the month,” Haise says to La Voix du Nord. However, Oscar and his group

were not amenable to leaving. There are still some unanswered details regarding Rangers. But we’re headed in the right direction.

Cortes, a forward with a strong right foot, could take over in Abdallah Sima’s absence due to injury. The top scorer for Rangers this

season from open play, the Senegal international, will miss “long-term” action because of an injury he sustained during the African

Cup of Nations, Clement confirms. Cortes finished his career with 19 appearances for Millionaires, scoring six goals and setting up

three more before leaving France. Even though he hasn’t played in many games for Lens, he has scored in Ligue 1.

“(Cortes) was one of the under-20 team’s heroes, and he performed well in the Libertadores early in the season,”

Expert on South America Tim Vickery tells talkSPORT about a player who won the Bronze Ball award—which goes to the third-best

player in the tournament—at the recent U20 FIFA World Cup after scoring four goals.

Although he is a winger, he can play any position along the front line. He has some pace, is adept with the ball, and has the ability to score.

“After performing well at the under-20 level, he traveled to France, but it doesn’t appear to have worked out. They are abandoning him at a very young age.

“I enjoy him.” However, I would be a little offended by Lens’s apparent early abandonment of him.
