Rumors surrounding Abdallah Sima’s potential move to Rangers have sent the Ibrox faithful into a frenzy. The Brighton winger, who spent last season on loan at Angers in Ligue 1, has caught the attention of the Scottish club. Sima’s encounter with Rangers in the Europa League while playing for former club Slavia Prague may have piqued the interest of Michael Beale.
Despite a challenging campaign with Angers that saw the club suffer relegation, Sima has taken to social media to express his gratitude to the fans and hint at an upcoming “new adventure.” In a heartfelt Instagram post, he thanked the supporters of SCO and conveyed his determination to give his best despite the unfavorable outcome. Sima’s message left Rangers fans excited about the prospect of his potential arrival.
“Supporters of SCO, I joined the club with the desire and hope to have a great season with you, with this group. Unfortunately, this one didn’t turn out the way we wanted, and even though it was very difficult, I never gave up and always wanted to give it my best. The time has come for me to say goodbye, a new adventure awaits. Thank you team for welcoming me with open arms, and I am honored to be part of your family…the work is still in progress.”
The Daily Mail has labeled Rangers as the “frontrunners” in the race to secure the services of the 22-year-old Senegalese international. Michael Beale, eager to bolster the squad swiftly, aims to make Sima his fifth signing of the transfer window. The report suggests that the Scottish club is keen to have Sima on board before the start of pre-season preparations, highlighting their urgency in securing his signature.
While Sima’s stint at Angers ended in disappointment due to relegation, his individual performances showcased his potential. With six goals and two assists in over 30 appearances, the winger’s highlight reel provides a glimpse of his talent and versatility. Although he is yet to feature for Brighton at the Amex Stadium, manager Roberto de Zerbi might be inclined to offload Sima ahead of the upcoming season.
