Rangers in talks to sign Nigerian youth player

Rangers are reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire the highly‑rated Nigerian defender Akpe Victory from Hungarian club Zalaegerszegi, according to the Daily Post.

The Scottish side faces stiff competition from Portuguese club Benfica, which has also expressed interest in the 19‑year‑old centre‑back.

Transfer analyst Ben Jacobs says that several clubs in Germany, Spain, and France are also keeping an eye on Victory.

Rangers are prepared to offer €5 million for the player.

Victory has been a standout performer for Zalaegerszegi in the Hungarian top division this season, making 15 league appearances and scoring one goal.
