Rangers closing in on Sheffield Wednesday winger Djeidi Gassama

Rangers are closing in on Sheffield Wednesday's Djeidi Gassama.

As per the Rangers Review, the Ibrox club are close to agreeing a deal with the Championship side for the winger, aged 21.

Russell Martin has added to his squad in recent weeks with the additions of Max Aarons, Emmanuel Fernandes, Joe Rothwell and Thelo Aasgaard. Lyall Cameron has also been added to Rangers' ranks, having signed a pre-contract back in January.

Now, it's understood that Gassama will become the latest player to make the switch to Glasgow this summer.

It's believed that a long-term contract is on the table for the French Under-20 internationalist.

Gassama joined the Owls two years ago after progressing through the academy system at Paris Saint-Germain.

He scored eight times in 47 appearances last season.

Rangers are now on the brink of adding Gassama to the squad as Martin puts his players through their paces at a training camp at St George's Park this week.

"I expect the team to look different again, the squad to look different in a week's time," Martin said when asked about the possibility of further transfer business. "But in a couple of weeks, so much can happen in football, so I don't know.

"So, I think we are, we're definitely want to do more, for sure. And also probably some players need to to move on as well at some point because the squad's going to start looking very big and very heavy. I don't know is the answer, but it will definitely look different in a week's time."
