Scout raves as Rangers set for Mendy deal
Nobel Mendy looks set to join Rangers in the coming days, and he is an exciting addition for Martin.
Scandinavian football scout Kai Watson, who works for Finnish club SJK Seinajoki, believes that the Real Betis ace will be a brilliant signing for the Gers.
Speaking exclusively to Ibrox News on 14 August, he said: “He’s quick and powerful both on and off the ball.
“Mendy has a really good range of passing and is capable of both breaking the lines and opening the game up with long switches of play.
“He’s strong in the air and reads the game well, but is inexperienced at the top level, given he spent most of his time in the Spanish third tier last season.
“He did impressively in the Conference League Semi-Final against Fiorentina when he replaced Marc Bartra, but it will be interesting to see if he can sustain that level over a whole season.”
