Rangers have signed Calvin Bassey from Leicester, after agreeing compensation with the Premier League club.
The 20-year-old left-back will make the move to Ibrox on a 4-year contract when the Scottish transfer window reopens.
“I am really excited. Rangers are a massive club and I am just buzzing to get started," Bassey said of joining Steven Gerrard's side.
“Ever since Rangers were in the picture speaking to my agent, I was really excited. They were one of the clubs I thought highly and I can’t wait to get started.
“I feel this is the best place for me because I have seen players like Joe Aribo come from south of the border and do so well.
“Obviously I appreciate everything Leicester have done for me. I just feel Rangers are offering me a massive platform for me to take my career to the next level and showcase my ability to the world.
“I have played Rangers at Ibrox before. Obviously the stadium was empty, it was just a friendly, but I could feel the raw atmosphere and the history and the presence of people when nobody was there. It was a good experience and I just can’t wait to play there when it’s a full stadium.”
