According to Antena2 in Colombia, Rangers are ‘very close’ to signing FC Honka striker Juan Diego Alegria.

It’s claimed that talks are ‘well advanced’ and Alegria looks to be heading to Ibrox in the very near future.

Alegria’s deal would be a loan with an option to buy, having been scpotted by Rangers scouts over in Finland.

Alegria has scored four goals in four games for Honka II this season, and has already made six first-team appearances.

At just 18, Alegria looks to be one for the future, and he will certainly earn comparisons to Alfredo Morelos.

Just like Morelos, Alegria is a Colombian striker who decided to leave for a move to Finland in order to try and advance his career.

Rangers spotted Morelos banging in goals for HJK Helsinki, and are now moving even earlier for teenager Alegria.

If Alegria can even up being even half the success Morelos has been, then Rangers will have struck gold.
