English Premier League club 'complete deal' to sign Rangers academy talent

Newcastle United have reportedly signed Rangers academy talent Alfie Hutchison. 

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that an agreement is in place for the 16-year-old striker to join the Premier League outfit.

Newcastle are said to have beaten several other top-flight English clubs to the youngster's signature. 

It comes after Romano recently revealed that Rangers had missed out on the signing of Kwame Poku from Peterborough United. 

The talented winger has instead opted to sign for English Championship side Queens Park Rangers. 

Rangers were interested in a move, but as time has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that the player wanted to remain in the south of England.

Romano now reports that a deal for Poku to join QPR is '100 per cent done', after he signed for the club this morning. 

Although they have missed out on Poku and appear to have lost youngster Hutchison, Rangers completed the signing of Max Aarons during the week. 

The right-back became the Ibrox club's second summer addition after joining on a season-long loan deal from English Premier League side Bournemouth. 

He and Lyall Cameron have both been added to new head coach Russell Martin's ranks ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
