Rangers transfer news: Wolves’ Fabio Silva joins Ibrox club on loan

The 21-year-old striker, who cost £35 million to sign with Premier League team Wolves in 2020,

becomes boss Philippe Clement’s first acquisition as he signs a loan deal with Rangers.

Prior to moving to Molineux, Silva spent time on loan at Anderlecht and PSV.

The striker became boss Philippe Clement’s first acquisition when he reported to his new teammates on January 1

.After failing to earn a starting position in Gary O’Neil’s first squad, Silva, 21,

spent time on loan at PSV and Anderlecht after moving to Molineux from Porto for £35 million three years ago.

I’m overjoyed because everyone I spoke to about Rangers and Glasgow had positive things to say about the team and its heritage, Silva said.

Everything is excellent because I’ve played here before in the Europa League with Porto

I know the cozy club, the setting, and the stadium.

I’m thrilled to be here and am eager to get started with the team’s training.

“After Kemar Roofe and Danilo suffered injuries,

Clement, who was looking to expand his striking options,

stated: “I am thrilled we were able to sign Fabio;

he is a highly-rated striker and it is fantastic to have him joining our squad for the remainder of the season.

“He is a young athlete who has already had a lot of amazing experience playing in Europe and England,

and I am forward to collaborate with him going forward.”

Silva and the team are connected because Silva was formerly signed by

new Gers director of football Nils Koppen when playing on loan for PSV Eindhoven.

The striker, who reportedly visited Glasgow prior to his transfer,

was also a target for Celtic.

Sporting director at Wolves Matt Hobbs continued,

saying: “This is an easy one: Fabio needs to play.

This is a chance for him to go out and score goals,

and we’ll look at the future in the summer.

He’s not getting enough opportunities here.

A large club is competing in Europe,

where they recently enjoyed success in a particular sport.

Fabio deserves credit for making this bold decision since there was a lot of interest.

He could have stayed in his comfort zone,

perhaps with less competitive football or nicer weather than Scotland,

but he chose to push himself. Everyone is pleased as it demonstrated a clear grasp of his own demands.

“We’ll get together in the summer to assess how things went and decide on the best course of action.

I’ll monitor him myself; he has a few important games coming up,

so this should be a great loan for Fabio’s development.
