Mohamed Diomande on Rangers transfer brink as in-demand Nordsjaelland star 'en route' to seal deal

Rangers are reportedly on the brink of their second signing of January with the capture of Nordsjaelland midfielder Mohamed Diomande.

Multiple reports in Denmark state the Ivory Coast U23 international has exited the Danish side's training camp in America and will undergo a medical with the Ibrox side. Rangers boss Philippe Clement has stressed the need for new recruits and Diomande appears set to join Wolves loanee Fabio Silva at Ibrox.

Diomande – linked with Union Berlin and RB Leipzig over the past six months – can play in multiple positions across the middle but often plays further up the pitch for a side who are currently fifth in the Danish Superliga. And now all paths appear to lead to Ibrox with reports stating an agreement was reached overnight to rubber-stamp Diomande's move to Glasgow.

The second deal comes after Clement teased further transfers could be on the way at Ibrox. Speaking after the Scottish Cup romp over Dumbarton, he said: "Every game is important and I want really ambitious players. If they show me ambition they will get chances, they know.

"I see a squad that is pushing every day to be in the starting 11 and we need to continue in that way with a few transfers the next couple of days or the next few weeks and then we want to challenge everybody. "We will see, we are working hard on that."
