Rangers set to sign Arsenal prodigy

Rangers are expected to announce the signing of Arsenal midfielder Gedion Zelalem this weekend.

After missing out on their top target, Hibernian’s Scott Allan to Celtic, the 18-year-old has agreed to join the Scottish Championship outfit on loan.

Zelalem, who has five international caps for the USA Under-21s, played the second-half in the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League fixture at Galatasaray back in December.

Ranger boss Mark Warburton said: “He’s a very talented ball player. He sees a pass, he’s very creative and one of the young gems at Arsenal.

“In my mind he will be a permanent first-team player in the future.”
