Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Wolves’ Fabio Silva on loan until the end of the season.
The striker will move to Ibrox on January 1, subject to international clearance, and become manager Philippe Clement’s first signing.
The striker signed for Premier League club Wolves in 2020 for £35m; the 21-year-old has been on loan at Anderlecht and PSV since his move to Molineux.
Silva, 21, moved to Molineux from Porto for £35m three years ago but has spent time out on loan at PSV and Anderlecht after failing to secure a starting spot in Gary O’Neil’s first team.
“I am very happy, when I spoke to people about Glasgow and about Rangers, everyone told me good things about the club and the history,” Silva said.
“I played here once with Porto in the Europa League, so I already know the warm club, the environment and the stadium, so everything is perfect. I am very happy to be here, and I can’t wait to start training with the team.”
He has made 10 appearances for Wolves this term but his only goal came in the EFL Cup against Blackpool in August, and he has not started a league game since 3rd September.
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs said the player had opted for Rangers amid “lots of interest” from other clubs.
