The Brighton midfielder Steven Alzate might be a January target for Rangers, but some injury news has dampened fans’ hopes.
When the midfield player was on loan at Standard Liege in Belgium, he suffered a syndesmotic ligament tear, or as you and I would say, a high ankle sprain.
Now that Brighton is back and receiving treatment for their condition, someone could make a joke about Rangers’ terrible practice of signing crocks.
Steven Alazate is unharmed, but the fact that he is nursing a similar ailment will undoubtedly cause some anxiety among the support staff given the numerous injury issues at Ibrox.
Several first-team players for Rangers have missed the most of the season due to injuries; as of this writing, Ben Davies, Borna Barisic, Ryan Jack, Tom Lawrence, Danilo, and Kemar Roofe are still on the treatment table.
It seems sense that so many people are laughing at jokes—if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
After an injury, Steven Alzate is back at Brighton.
Steven Alzate suffered a serious injury after tripping during a Belgian Pro League game between Standard Liege and Charleroi earlier in December.
Not least of all because the 25-year-old Colombian international, who was born in England, has been making an impression during his second season on loan with the Belgian team.
The Belgian division takes a brief winter break in January, much like the Scottish league, and the midfielder is back in Brighton’s evaluation system.
The Athletic are claiming that Steven Alzate will be sidelined until the end of January due to the injury, which implies that even if he signs with the Rangers, he will probably remain disabled.
This kind of injury should heal in four to six weeks, and the good news is that the recurrence rate for these injuries is significantly lower than that of classic sprains.
According to a Belgian source, Rangers is interested in Steven Alzate, a Premier League midfielder. This may be an intriguing trade for a few reasons. Brighton would have to allow Steven Alzate to return to Standard before approving his departure to Rangers. Second, Rangers are free to speak with the midfield player directly as he is nearing the end of his contract with the Premier League team.
Additionally, it implies that Rangers may work out a discounted contract with Brighton during this transfer window. Davie Weir, the Technical Director and Ibrox Hall of Famer, oversees Brighton’s recruitment efforts. The Seagulls are hoping to avoid losing the player in the summer to nowhere.
Alzate, a London native, began his professional career at Leyton Orient before joining Brighton in 2017—coincidentally, the team’s inaugural Premier League season.
The midfield player played for Brighton for 51 games in all, 43 of which were in the Premier League.
