Rangers seal loan deal for City winger

-

Rangers have signed Manchester City youngster Aaron Nemane on a loan deal until January.

The 19-year-old winger is capable of operating on either flank and has pace.

The deal is thought to have been negotiated by Rangers’ director of football Mark Allen, who spent several years working as Manchester City’s academy director.

Born in France but raised in Manchester, the player is the Ibrox club’s tenth summer signing, though it is understood he will mainly feature in the club’s developmen­t squad.

Nemane made his debut for Manchester City’s under-18 team at the age of 14 and their under-21s at 16. He also featured in the Uefa Youth League last season and scored in the FA Youth Cup final in 2016.

A statement on Rangers’ website said: “Rangers can today confirm the loan signing of Aaron Nemane from Manchester City. The highly-rated 19-year-old has signed until January.”

Meanwhile, the Ibrox club have confirmed Harry Forrester has completed his season-long loan switch to AFC Wimbeldon.

Forrester joined Rangers in the January 2016 transfer window and scored eight times during 44 appearance­s for the club, but was deemed surplus to requiremen­ts by manager Pedro Caixinha.
