Rangers manager Steven Gerrard
Coulibaly joined Rangers from Angers on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window.
The Mali international midfielder has already been a huge hit for Rangers and has been a key figure for the Gers in the opening weeks of the season.
The 22-year-old has established himself in the Rangers starting lineup, and manager Gerrard has suggested that he would love to make Coulibaly’s loan deal permanent.
The Scottish Sun quotes Gerrard as saying: “We would love to have Lassana on a full-time basis.
“We admire him and that’s the reason we brought him in, but at the moment it’s a loan and he belongs to another club.”
Long way to go?
It is still early days, but Coulibaly has been hugely impressive, and there is no surprise that Rangers manager Gerrard is already thinking about making his loan deal permanent.
However, there is a long way to go this season, and maybe it is too early to judge the Mali international midfielder.
It remains to be seen if the Angers-owned midfielder is able to maintain his consistent for the entire season.
