Clement chases ‘Perfect’ new Rangers signing to replace missing star before deadline – report
Philipe Clement strives for perfection. Oscar Cortez, a Rangers player,
will replace Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima in the plan.
Following Abdallah Sima’s injury, Philippe Clement has declared Oscar Cortes the “ideal” addition to his Rangers
assault, as reported by the Daily Record.
The young Lens winger has already returned to Europe to finalize a move, according to a story published by the paper
late on January 29 on their website. The Light Blues are “hopeful” to complete the deal before the deadline, despite
claims originating from Colombia that it has already been completed.
The 20-year-old, who only made four Ligue 1 appearances off the bench after moving to France for £4 million from
Millonarios, is available just months after that move, but the manager of the Gers has selected Colombia’s top scorer
from the South American Youth Championships last year as the perfect addition to his team.
After playing just one minute for Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations, on-loan Brighton forward Sima had a thigh issue
that might sideline him for up to three months. This season, he has scored fifteen goals across all competitions.
large shoes to fill
It is easy to forget that Sima is still only 22 because he has overcome the difficulties faced by some of his fellow summer
newcomers to establish himself as a standout for the Rangers this season.
He hasn’t had any consistency for a while because the Light Blues are the fourth team he has played for in the previous
2.5 seasons—that doesn’t include the Seagulls, for whom he hasn’t yet made an appearance.
Cortes has the potential to have a significant effect right in front of him, despite the fact that he may be immature and
uneasy to be moving so quickly after moving to France from his native country.
If Clement hopes to add any more hardware to his trophy collection this season after winning the Viaplay Cup, he must
have chosen the proper man to take Sima’s place.
It is now up to Cyriel Dessers, who has had a difficult start to life at Rangers but admittedly seems to be rising to the task
of being the last man standing at striker, to lead the team to any more glory in the absence of a proven goalscorer
arriving before the deadline on February 1st.
While Todd Cantwell and other players can contribute, it appears that Dessers and James Tavernier will have to put up
the necessary numbers unless Cortes can show up and quickly follow Sima’s lead. Young players with talent like Ross
McCausland and Fabio Silva are also capable of scoring goals, but they are not consistent goal scorers.
In other Rangers news, a team just acquired a lot “more money to spend” in an effort to purchase Ibrox ace before the
Deadline.
