According to the Daily Record, Oscar Cortes has “jumped to the top of Philippe Clement‘s list of priorities” as Rangers prepare an offer to sign him on a loan
After the arrivals of Mohamed Diomande and Fabio Silva, the publication stated late on January 28 on its website that the Lens “star” is the Ibrox boss’ top priority and that the team is “set to pounce” in the following 48 hours.
Since joining from Millonarios in the summer, the Colombian “whizzkid” has only made four appearances for the Ligue 1 team, but the Light Blues are reportedly optimistic that he will do better in Scotland.
To make room for his immediate future, the 20-year-old has already been released from his international assignment.
Top priority
Despite not playing for a first team, the young player needs to be seen as capable of making an instant impression at Ibrox if Clement and Nils Koppen are involved. At this point, he should be searching for a loan.
Therefore, they will have to be correct when they say he is prepared for greater activity than what he has witnessed in France since switching to Europe in the summer.
After Alex Lowry’s early return from Hearts, the Rangers manager has already determined that he isn’t ready for consistent first-team minutes at his parent club and plans to allow him to go out on loan once more.
Since Abdallah Sima‘s spot on the wing is now open for almost the entire season, the recruitment department has undoubtedly noticed something in Cortes that the Scot does not yet have. As a result, there is a significant void to fill.
After Silva was signed early on a loan from Wolves, there was no activity at Ibrox until Diomande from FC Nordsjaelland was acquired in a high-profile transfer.
But it looks like injuries will be filling gaps in a squad that Clement already needed to strengthen after the disastrous summer overhaul under Michael Beale, so the final few days of the window will be hectic.
