Rangers win race to sign Aberdeen sensation Lancelot Pollard, will pay six-figure compensation
Rangers are set to win the race to sign Aberdeen wonderkid Lancelot Pollard this summer, according to The Sun.
The newspaper have reported on their website that the Bears have beaten Liverpool and Manchester United to the young prospect who has shined for the Dons’ under-18 side.
Rangers were aware of outside interest so moved quickly to get the deal done with a six-figure compensation now due to their Scottish Premiership rivals.
It is shared that Pollard has quickly become one of the top talents at Cormack Park in recent times.
Aberdeen are set to face a major blow in losing one of their biggest sensations, with Rangers happily set to take advantage in the coming weeks.
It will also keep Pollard closer to home rather than uprooting everything and moving south of the border to either Liverpool or Manchester for next season and beyond.
Place to be.
Ibrox and Auchenhowie is the perfect place to develop as a younger player.
Pollard will have been shown just how many young wonders have progressed into the first team in recent years, not only under Steven Gerrard but also Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The Dutchman has been handing out debuts regularly throughout his time in charge, and that is something that really appeals to young players looking to make a move.
Would the same happen at Premier League giants such as Manchester United or Liverpool? The simple answer to that is not a chance.
This is certainly one of those names to look out for in the years to come, as it will take time to get used to his new surroundings and progress through the age groups.
Success in Europe and domestically also helps attracts this kind of player to want a move to Glasgow, and the more this happens, the more we can get used to it.
Let’s hope this one can be done and dusted soon.
