Rangers have completed a deal to bring Francis Jacobs to Ibrox from Orange County, according to The Athletic.
It has been reported that that the 15-year-old will join Rangers later this year from USL Championship side Orange County.
The report has claimed that the midfielder will turn 16 in March and is the youngest professional player in US football history, having turned professional in August 2019 at the age of 14 years, four months and 29 days.
The Athletic has claimed that the teenager trained with Rangers in December 2019 and played at the Alkass International Cup in Doha.
One for the future
Given that Jacobs will be 16 when he joins Rangers, it is hard to see him get straight into the first team at the Gers and start working with manager Steven Gerrard.
It is very likely that the teenager will be part of the youth team at Rangers and will have to work his way through the ranks.
The midfielder, who reportedly has a UK passport, is very talented and promising, and he will hope to learn and develop a lot during his time at the Rangers academy.
