Fashion Sakala signs for Rangers as striker delights in 'dream come true' Ibrox move

Zambian striker Fashion Sakala has signed for Rangers on a pre-contract.

The KV Oostende frontman has penned a four-year deal at the newly-crowned Scottish champions and will join up with his new team-mates in summer.

It's Steven Gerrard's second summer arrival for the looming Premiership title defence as Sakala will arrive at Ibrox alongside Nnamdi Ofoborh, signed from Bournemouth on a pre-contract in January.

Sakala told the club's website: "I am very much excited to start this exciting journey with Rangers. It has been one of my dreams, and I feel like this is a dream come true to join Rangers – one of the greatest clubs in the world.

"They have a great fanbase and a great history, and I believe we will share great memories together.

"As a player you always strive to play for others – that is the most important strength which keeps me going. I know that Rangers have great players and I am looking forward to learning from them and deliver.

"In my role as a striker, I know what the club needs from me and what the fans expect. The club has great players and I just want to learn from them and try to bring something that helps the team get the results."

Manager Gerrard added: "Fashion is a player who we have been aware of for some time. He fits our profile and has the attributes to not only thrive in Scotland but on the European stage as well.

"We are excited to see him fulfil his potential under the coaching staff at Auchenowie.

"We look forward to welcoming him at the beginning of pre season."
