Rangers target transfers from Holland, Belgium, Poland, Austria and South America after Mohamed Diomande deal – Chris Jack

Chris Jack reports that Rangers, under Nils Koppen, will want to sign players from new locations after finalizing a contract for Mohamed Diomande.

Reputable journalist writes on the Rangers Review website (January 26) that since the hiring of the new recruitment chief at Ibrox, the club has reconsidered how it finds potential.

Furthermore, the team will now look for talent in South America, Holland, Belgium, Poland, and Austria going forward after sealing a contract for Diomande on Friday afternoon.

“The appointment of Koppen coincides with a rethink in terms of how Rangers identify talent,” he wrote.

“Scandinavia has been pinpointed as a market that is potentially ripe and Diomande represents a first forage into that region under this regime.

“The top tiers of Holland and Belgium are natural areas for exploration, while work will also be undertaken in South America and in the likes of Poland and Austria.”

Sensible

Rangers has financial resources, but they are unable to match the spending power of teams in Europe’s top leagues, which frequently puts them at a disadvantage in transfer negotiations.

Fans have frequently remarked in recent years that the players the team has signed were either unproven gambles that Rangers was taking a chance on, or they were players whose present club wasn’t very interested in them.

However, Diomande was neither of those two things and represents a brilliant new way of thinking for the team. This might mean that the team brings players in ahead of the trend and either has them do exceptionally well at the club or sells them on for a fantastic profit.

This sounds like a good change because teams like Brighton have adopted a similar concept in recent years, and we’ve seen how well it works for them.

With Diomande leaving early, the club is off to a wonderful start. It will be interesting to see how the club develops under this plan in the upcoming years.
