Rangers on Verge of Announcing Max Aarons Signing from Bournemouth
Rangers FC are poised to officially announce the signing of right-back Max Aarons from Bournemouth, marking a significant addition to their defensive ranks ahead of the upcoming season. The 24-year-old is expected to be unveiled at Ibrox within the coming days, as the deal nears its final stages following advanced talks between the clubs.
Aarons, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth from Norwich City before completing a permanent move, is now set for a fresh challenge in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers manager Russell Martin has been keen to bolster his squad, especially in the full-back area, and sees Aarons as an ideal fit due to his pace, attacking instincts, and top-flight experience.
The English defender rose to prominence during his time with Norwich City, playing a key role in their promotion campaigns and impressing in the Premier League. Despite a somewhat inconsistent spell at Bournemouth, Aarons remains a highly rated talent, and Rangers are confident he can rediscover his best form under Martin’s guidance.
Sources close to the club suggest that the deal is structured as a long-term contract, with personal terms already agreed. Aarons has reportedly undergone a medical and completed the necessary paperwork, clearing the way for an official announcement from Rangers in the coming hours or days.
The move is viewed as a statement of intent by Rangers as they aim to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title and make a deep run in European competitions. Aarons brings not only experience from England’s top divisions but also a hunger to prove himself on a new stage.
This transfer also signals a continued backing of Russell Martin’s vision by the Rangers board, with the club actively pursuing young, dynamic players capable of adapting quickly to the Scottish game. Aarons’ attacking ability and willingness to drive forward are expected to complement James Tavernier, adding depth and competition in key areas of the squad.
Fans have responded positively to the news, with many excited about the potential impact the former England U21 international can have at Ibrox. With the deal all but done, attention will soon turn to how Aarons fits into Martin’s tactical setup and what other reinforcements might follow him through the doors of Ibrox.
An official announcement from Rangers is anticipated imminently, as the club continues to strengthen ahead of the new campaign.
