According to Sky Sports, Rafael Fernandes, a defender for Lille, has travelled to Scotland in anticipation of a possible loan transfer to Rangers.
The news source stated that the Gers are nearing an agreement to sign the 22-year-old on January 17 at 7:25 p.m.
Given the quantity of injuries at the club, Philippe Clement is reportedly eager to sign a defender.
Rafael Fernandes has helped Rangers make rapid progress.
Given that he has already reached Scotland, it appears that the club has moved quickly to complete his deal.
He wouldn’t have flown in already if it had been just the beginning.
Since he hasn’t yet made a senior debut for the French team in Ligue 1, it makes sense for Lille to loan him away.
Even though they spent £2 million to hire him, he could undoubtedly have an impact at Ibrox.
Although not many fans would recognise him, the same is true with Neraysho Kasanwirjo and Hamza Igamane, both of whom have performed admirably.
Before the team is now focussing on signing him, there will have undoubtedly been some preparatory work done to scout him.
