Bongani Zungu completes Rangers transfer as Ibrox club secure loan with option to buy

Bongani Zungu has completed his deadline day transfer to Rangers.

The South African international midfielder signed for an Ibrox club on a one year loan deal with option to buy next summer.

Zungu was repeatedly linked with a switch to Rangers throughout the summer having made clear his intentions to depart French side Amiens.

It's no secret Steven Gerrard wanted to bring in a new central midfielder to provide competition for Ryan Jack, Steven Davis, Glen Kamara, Scott Arfield and Joe Aribo.

And now he's got his man, with Zungu set to compete for a spot in the Rangers starting XI.

The 27-year-old defensive midfielder joined Amiens in 2017 as they were promoted to the French top flight, and impressed as one of their stand-out performers.

However his exit always looked likely upon their relegation last campaign.
