Scottish Premiership giants Rangers are reportedly set to sign Oldham defender George Edmundson and Charlton Athletic ace Joe Aribo.
It is never a quiet summer at Ibrox and 2019 is shaping up to be no different.
Rangers have already completed five new signings with Jordan Jones, Jake Hastie, Sheyi Ojo and Greg Stewart heading to Glasgow. Steven Davis, meanwhile, has joined on a permanent basis after a loan spell from Southampton.
And it seems that signings number six and seven are on the way.
According to The Mail, Rangers are on the verge of signing coveted Oldham Athletic defender George Edmundson for £650,000. Steven Gerrard’s side have fought off competition from Peterborough and Portsmouth for the 21-year-old, who will have a medical this week.
Edmundson will be joined north of the border by Joe Aribo, the talented Charlton Athletic midfielder.
The Standard claims that he will tell manager Lee Bowyer of his intention to leave during a meeting on Friday with Rangers expected to pay just £250,000 in compensation for a player whose contract expires at the end of the month.
That means Rangers are set to sign two of the most promising and in-demand young players in England for less than £1 million. And director of football Mark Allen would deserve huge credit for his role in landing two hugely exciting prospects who should get better and better under Gerrard at Ibrox.
Rangers fans wanted their side to spend big in the transfer market in order to announce their intention to fight for the title. But Allen is showing again and again that there is value out there if you look hard enough.
