Rangers are in talks to buy Zalaegerszegi star Akpe Victory | OneFootball

Rangers are in talks to bring Zalaegerszegi centre-back Akpe Victory to the Scottish Premiership as Bears 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 also on the radar of clubs in Germany, Spain and France, but Rangers are close to making an offer. The Light Blues target has played 15 times this season and is also wanted by Benfica.

However, Victory could be reuniting with fellow Nigerian Emmanuel Fernandez at Rangers and fans will hope he makes a similar impact.

The teenage sensation is under contract at the Hungarian club until 2028, but there is an option for another year.

The 24-year-old star joined the Light Blues from Peterborough United last summer and has notched seven goals in 32 games 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.

The Light Blues were in the title race for the Scottish Premiership in the first phase of the season but dropped out following four defeats in the opening four games of the second phase against the other teams in the top-six.

Rangers will look to strengthen their squad and Victory could be a solid addition to the defence.

His aerial presence and defensive positioning are qualities the Light Blues could do with in a defender.
