Sam Edozie puts Rangers transfer collapse behind him as he seals move from Southampton to Europa League outfit

Sam Edozie has put his Rangers transfer disappointment to one side after securing a move to Europe. Southampton boss Russell Martin revealed he was gutted for the winger after his proposed loan move north of the border fell through at the last minute before the summer window slammed shut.

It was reported on the south coast that a deal had been agreed but Rangers "pulled the plug" at the final moments. The former Ibrox defender - now in charge at St Mary's - expressed how the move collapsing wasn't on his end and described it as unfair on the 21-year-old.

However, that will be short-lived after reports in Belgium that the EPL new boys and Anderlecht have come to an agreement over a loan with the deal done.

The report states that the switch won't hold a buy clause and it will give Edozie the chance to play in the Europa League this season with the Belgian outfit paired off against Ferencvaros, Real Sociedad, Ludogorets, RFS, Porto, Slavia Prague, Viktoria Plzen and Hoffenheim in the newly revamped second tier competition.
