Rangers in talks to buy Zalaegerszegi star Akpe Victory Rangers are in talks to bring Zalaegerszegi centre-back Akpe Victory to the Scottish Premiership as Light Blues manager Danny Rohl looks to strengthen at the back at Ibrox, according to journalist and transfer insider Ben Jacobs. The 6ft 5in 19-year-old Nigerian is on the radar of clubs in Germany, Spain and France, but Rangers are close to making an offer. Victory has played 15 times this season and is also wanted by Benfica.

The teenage sensation is under contract at the Hungarian club until 2028, but there is an option for another year. He could be reuniting with fellow Nigerian Emmanuel Fernandez at Rangers and fans will hope Victory makes a similar impact. The 6ft 5in star joined the Bears from Peterborough United and has notched seven goals in his debut season so far.

Fernandez has became a Nigerian international since joining Rangers and Victory will hope for similar success at country level.
