Reported Glasgow Rangers target Fashion Sakala says he will look to make an announcement on his future tonight, potentially confirming a move to Ibrox.

According to the Daily Record, the Gers are confident of sealing a deal for the 24-year-old Zambia international, who will be out of contract in the summer.

On Tuesday, the outlet claimed that Rangers’ move for Sakala was expected to be progressed this week with a pre-contract agreement likely after that.

Sakala, whose contract at KV Oostende expires in June, says his club have granted him permission to seal a deal and he’ll look to confirm tonight where he goes next.

He told Belgian outlet De Krant Van West-Vlaanderen: “The club is granting me a transfer, everything will be completed this week.

“I want to make my choice known after the match against Standard on Saturday.”

Earlier this week, Sakala began following Borna Barisic, Allan McGregor, Joe Aribo, Kemar Roofe, Glen Kamara, James Tavernier and Bongani Zungu on Instagram.

The Daily Record claims that Sakala had more lucrative offers from the Middle East and Europe but has made it clear that Rangers is his preferred choice.

He has registered 13 goals and three assists for Oostende in the Jupiler League this term, and 28 goals and eight assists overall since joining from Spartak Moscow 2 in 2018.
