Brighton youngster Zebedee Lawson set for Ibrox switch

According to Rangers Review (29 June), Brighton youngster Zebedee Lawson is set for a move to Ibrox.

The right-sided attacker will join the Gers youngsters at Auchenhowie for the upcoming season.

The 16-year-old will be joining the Under-19s side, which has been training with the senior team.

Last season, the English teenager bagged three goals and an assist in 13 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League.

Rangers seal major coup as Lawson comes with immense potential

Having signed Lawson, Rangers undoubtedly have secured a major coup.

At that age, he's already doing well against players a couple of years older than him, which is an indicator of his talent.

Lawson's stats in the Under-18 Premier League last season.

Brighton are known to be among the best at developing young players and he'll certainly have benefited from his time on the south coast.

Lawson is a dynamic winger who brings flair to the attack and he will only get better with age.

His ability to cut in from the right adds versatility, enhancing Rangers’ attacking options at the youth level.

Convincing him to join underscores the Ibrox outfit’s growing appeal in the youth market.

Lawson’s potential to develop into a first-team star or generate future transfer profit aligns with the club’s strategy of nurturing talent, especially as they move away from a B-team model.

This signing strengthens their long-term prospects while adding immediate depth to a squad needing creativity.
