Oscar Cortes is closing in on a Rangers loan deal this month as he gets set to fly into Glasgow.
The Colombian winger, 20, has been identified as a January transfer target for Philippe Clement’s side as the Lens right-winger would bolster the attacking options at Ibrox. Punters have been crying out for an out-and-out wide man and now the club seem to have got their man as they seek to rubber-stamp it this week.
Football Scotland understands Cortes will wear the blue of Rangers before the end of the window unless the negotiations take a drastic misstep but that’s not expected to happen.
The international has been capped once by the Colombia first-team but has been looking for a move away from Lens in Ligue 1 as he’s only made four appearances from the bench this season.
He did score against Reims on one occasion.
Cortes’ loan will have an option for Gers to buy the player in the summer but that will depend on how he performs between now and then.
