“SHOCKING STEAL! Rangers Snag Star Player for a JAW-DROPPING Half-Price Deal in SENSATIONAL Transfer Coup!”

After a brief delay on Sheffield Wednesday’s end, Rangers officially confirmed the signing of Djeidi Gassama on Tuesday, 15 July.

The French winger had already been seen wearing Rangers gear last week, but the announcement was held up due to complications stemming from ongoing financial and operational issues at Hillsborough.

Despite the delay, manager Russell Martin has finally secured his target, and early indications suggest that Rangers have landed the talented wide man at a bargain price.

Gassama proved to be one of Sheffield Wednesday’s standout performers in the Championship last season, delivering consistently strong displays even as the team struggled both on and off the pitch.

His performances drew interest from several European clubs, but it was Rangers who ultimately won the race for his signature. The transfer fee is believed to be around £2.2 million.

Sheffield Wednesday journalist Joe Crann told Ibrox News that Gassama could prove to be a value-for-money signing:

“There’ll need to be some patience—he’s moving to a new league and will have to adapt to facing deep defensive blocks regularly.

But he has a high ceiling and real room for growth. Rangers are likely paying around half of what he’d usually cost, due to Wednesday’s current situation.”

Crann also believes Gassama has strong resale value: “The consensus is that Rangers could make a good profit on him down the line.”

With this signing, Rangers continue to show clear intent as they aim to close the gap on Celtic ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The club has taken serious steps this summer, not only investing in new talent but also improving their overall recruitment strategy.

More arrivals are expected at Ibrox in the coming weeks, with the club focused on building a squad capable of challenging for domestic honours and competing in Europe. The signs point to a brighter future as Rangers push for a resurgence.
