Rangers plan to unveil Thelo Aasgaard transfer revealed
Rangers are planning to unveil the transfer of Thelo Aasgaard as he’s set to move to Ibrox from Luton Town.
Three new players have joined since Russell Martin took over and Aasgaard will now be the fourth one.
Rangers also appear to be closing in on Wolves defender Nasser Djiga, who will be joining on loan.
Thelo Aasgaard may be unveiled ahead of Club Brugge clash
Gers begin their pre-season campaign on Sunday, 6 July, with a friendly against Club Brugge.
According to the Daily Record (4 July), the Ibrox outfit expect to have finalised the 23-year-old’s signing by then.
Aasgaard can be unveiled in front of the home fans as the Ibrox outfit’s fourth signing of the transfer window.
Gers will be paying the League One club an initial £3million fee, which could rise to £4million with add-ons.
Martin must get the best out of Aasgaard at Rangers
Aasgaard is known for his quick dribbling, sharp vision and a knack for scoring, evidenced by 14 goals and three assists across 48 appearances for Luton Town and Wigan Athletic.
The Norway international thrives in tight spaces, often cutting in from the left or playing as a No. 10, using his low centre of gravity to evade defenders.
| Competition | Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Championship | Luton Town | 17 | 2 | 1 | 1,516′ |
| League One | Wigan Athletic | 26 | 8 | 2 | 2,086′ |
| FA Cup | Wigan Athletic | 3 | 3 | – | 330′ |
| EFL Trophy | Wigan Athletic | 1 | – | – | 32′ |
| EFL Cup | Wigan Athletic | 1 | 1 | – | 90′ |
| Total | 48 | 14 | 3 | 4,054′ |
To maximise Aasgaard’s impact at Rangers, Martin should deploy him as a central attacking midfielder in his 4-2-3-1 system, granting him freedom to roam and link with the wingers.
Encouraging quick one-twos and exploiting his off-ball runs will unlock defences.
Pre-season drills focusing on pressing and positional discipline will align him with Martin’s high-intensity, possession-based approach, ensuring he shines in the Scottish Premiership.
