“Rangers’ Urgent Chase for Abdallah Sima: Can They Secure the Star Amid Brighton’s Transfer Shuffle?”
Rangers have been notably quiet in the transfer market, with no solid links to potential new signings for Philippe Clement’s squad rebuild. Although the manager is keen to strengthen the team to achieve his objectives, bringing in higher-quality players is essential. One player who would be a valuable addition is Abdallah Sima, a favorite among Rangers fans from last season.
Brighton CEO Comments as Rangers Target Abdallah Sima
Throughout the summer, Sima has hinted at a potential move, and Clement has emphasized his close relationship with the 22-year-old Senegalese international. However, Brighton’s active transfer dealings, bringing in several high-profile signings, have pushed Sima further down the pecking order. His limited pre-season appearances may have already signaled his reduced role in the squad.
With reports of interest from Brest, Rangers must act quickly. Brighton’s CEO, Peter Barber, mentioned in an interview with Talksport that Brighton is open to selling some players, explaining that while the club is still working on bringing in new players, they also need to offload others to balance the squad:
“We’ve got a very big squad and we want to ensure all our players have the chance to play some football this coming season, so it’s not just about incomings, but outgoings as well.”
Rangers Urged to Move Swiftly for Sima
For the first time in years, Brighton has spent more than they’ve earned in the transfer market and are looking to reduce their wage bill. With Sima having just one year left on his contract, though Brighton does hold an option to extend it, Rangers need to move quickly to secure the deal.
