Rangers news emerges as Nottingham Forest want to sign attacker before deadline
Rangers youngster Thompson Ishaka is some way away from making a senior bow for Nottingham Forest, should he join this month, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that Forest will be gauging his fitness levels for the under-18s and make the decision whether he could cope at a higher level.
The Premier League outfit are considering a move for the 19-year-old left winger but there are understood to be complications given Gers’ demands. [Sports 247, 16 August]
Discussing his situation exclusively with Ibrox News, Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said:
“He’s not yet played at the senior level for Rangers, so moving to the Premier League is in itself a step up.
Forest will be looking at his fitness levels and how to bridge that gap methodically – including fitness training, on-pitch training and a minute pathway to first-team football.
“I’d say there’s still a long way before he can be considered first-team ready and Forest will be aware of that.“
Rangers must try to keep Thompson Ishaka at the club
Gers must retain Ishaka due to his exceptional potential and versatility on the field.
At just 19, the Nigerian has already demonstrated remarkable skill, particularly noted during his trial periods where his pace and control left defenders in awe.
His ability to operate as a left-winger with the potential to adapt to different positions could be pivotal for Rangers’ tactical flexibility and he has everything it takes to develop into a first-team player in the future.
In other Rangers news, a major development has emerged as Gers have submitted a loan-to-buy bid to sign a new first-team player.
