Rangers boss Mark Warburton will not be expected to play the 18-year-old at Ibrox anytime soon.
General view of Ibrox – Rangers
On transfer deadline day Rangers finally managed to secure the signature of Philippe Senderos to cover at centre-back, after previously failing to complete a deal to bring the much-maligned Aston Villa star Joleon Lescott to Ibrox.
But the Swiss was not the only new Rangers signing that day.
Rangers also brought in some young talents with the hope they can go on to become Ibrox regulars in the years to come.
General view before the match
Finnish youth international Serge Atakayi joined the Glasgow club until 2019 from FF Jaro. Maltese talent Myles Beerman arrived from Manchester City until 2018 and Amin Bouzaig was snapped up from Spanish youth football until next summer.
Another player signed by Rangers was 18-year-old midfielder Ursene Mouanda. The midfielder arrived from New Hartley Juniors in the North-East of England and will go straight into the Glasgow side’s academy – so don’t expect Mark Warburton to be using him anytime soon.
There is no doubt that the young talent was pleased with the deal, as he showed on his Twitter account this week.
He posted this message:
Mouanda only has a deal at Rangers until the end of January 2017, so will need to do a lot to impress and remain in Glasgow in that time.
But he is clearly motivated to catch the eye of Mark Warburton and co, and secure a long-term future at Rangers.
