Heart and Hand reports that Oscar Cortes from Lens might be signed by Rangers on a loan as soon as Monday, January 29.
David Edgar announced on Twitter on January 28 that the Colombian winger’s deal was almost complete.
On Sunday, February 28, Cortes was given permission by the Colombian Football Federation to depart from the Under-23s camp in order to finalize a transfer.
Even though Cortes isn’t precisely a “name,” many people who are familiar with French football have extolled his virtues following his brief tenure at Lens.
The 20-year-old plays on the wing, and although Philippe Clement has choices, that is always a position that might use some improvement.
Though Lawrence Shankland remains at the top of many fans’ rankings, this is still an attacker that can be called upon.
It also indicates that the Gers are placing a lot more emphasis on acquiring young players with promise than on those who are currently elite players.
Let’s hope Cortes makes an impression over the next four months, as reports indicate Rangers may have the option to purchase him at the end of the campaign.
