Rangers and Arsenal are vying for teenager Dantouma Toure, with both teams taking the Colorado Rapids talent on trial.
Football Scotland report that Toure was recently given permission to train with Rangers’ B team at their Auchenhowie training base.
Rangers aren’t alone in the race to sign Toure though, after Colorado Rapids allowed him to undergo various trials in Europe.
Arsenal have now taken Toure on trial too as they consider a deal for the winger.
There could be others in the mix too, but it looks like Rangers v Arsenal for Toure right now.
Rangers and Arsenal trialist Toure profiled
Toure, 17, was born Guinea but has been emerging over in the United States.
After a spell with New York Red Bulls, Toure joined up with Colorado Rapids earlier this year.
Toure has been on loan with Colorado Springs Switchbacks in the USL Championship, claiming three goals in 23 outings.
That has put USA Under-17 winger Toure on Rangers and Arsenal’s radars.
Toure earned huge praise from Padraig Smith, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Colrado Rapids.
Smith suggested that Toure was ‘tremendous potential’, branding him ‘powerful and explosive on the ball’, believing he can beat defenders for fun and can become an ‘elite player’ one day.
That’s all very encouraging for Rangers and Arsenal, who will soon make decisions on whether to go for Toure full-time.
