The Rangers’ pre-contract target, Nnamdi Ofoborh, is queuing for a Bournemouth loan on the deadline amid the EFL club’s massive interest, Football Insider can reveal exclusively.
The 21-year-old is in complex talks with the Rangers about signing an agreement that would see him sign up this summer when his contract with Cherries expires.
A recruiting source told Football Insider that Bournemouth was resigned to wasting Ofoborh wasting and was in a position to give it up on Monday last day of the January window, even though he signed a pre-contract.
There is in Ofoborh from Sheffield Wednesday, Watford, Wycombe Wanderers, Rotherham United, Lincoln City, Portsmouth and Charlton Athletic.
The flexible operator, who can play in defence and in the middle of the field, will leave Vitality Stadium before 11pm on Monday.
Rangers hoped to tie him up last week and announce Ofoborh as one of three pre-contract signings with Bournemouth teammate Jack Simpson and Scott Wright of Aberdeen.
But no formal agreement has yet been reached despite the complex negotiations.
Cross-border regulations allow Scottish Premiership fugitive leaders to safely sign Ofoborh from January.
