Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers brought Ovie Ejaria to the Scottish Premiership on Thursday, and one Arsenal man is delighted.
Rangers completed the capture of Ovie Ejaria on a season-long loan yesterday.
The 20-year-old joins Rangers immediately after signing a new long-term deal with Liverpool, where he played under now-Gers boss Steven Gerrard in the academy.
The English midfielder becomes the fourth player to join the Ibrox club this summer, after Scott Arfield and Allen McGregor sealed their transfers, while Jamie Murphy made his loan permanent.
But is Ejaria the best of the bunch so far? One fellow professional certainly reckons that the Scottish Premiership side have pulled off a serious coup.
Arsenal youngster Charlie Gilmour, who knows Ejaria from his time with the Gunners, says he is “100% sure” that his old team-mate will “smash it” at Rangers.
Fans of the Blues will certainly hope that Gilmour is correct and that Ejaria proves himself a great signing.
The fact that the Reds signed him up to a new contract before loaning him out indicates that they value him and it’ll be fascinating to see how he performs under Gerrard in the Scottish Premiership next season.
