Rangers have bolstered their defensive line-up with the acquisition of Clinton Nsiala, a promising French defender from AC Milan. This marks the club’s third signing this summer as they continue to strengthen their squad. Former Rangers player Marco Negri has been monitoring Nsiala and sees potential in him, although he may not be an immediate starter.
Negri compares Nsiala’s situation to that of Calvin Bassey, who made a lucrative move from Rangers to Ajax after showing immense growth at Ibrox Stadium. Negri describes Nsiala as “very aggressive”, skilled on the ball but notes his lack of experience at the senior level.
The development of Nsiala will require patience as he adjusts to playing for a high-pressure club like Rangers. Fortunately, language barriers won’t hinder his progress since manager Philippe Clement is fluent in French due to his stint at Monaco.
Despite being seen as a developmental project, expectations remain high for new signings at Ibrox Stadium. Players are expected to perform swiftly, but Negri believes that Nsiala could become an asset for the team.
Rangers’ strategy involves scouting young talents available at reasonable prices and nurturing them into valuable players within the team’s structure. With other Italian clubs reportedly interested in Nsiala, securing his signature can be viewed as quite an achievement for Rangers.
Negri reveals that AC Milan was disappointed by Nsiala’s departure without renewing his contract, indicating how highly valued he was at his former club. For Rangers, it appears they’re focused on building a strong foundation for future success – and Clinton Nsiala is part of that vision.
