Rangers news as Ivory Coast sensation Yan Diomande arrives on trial
Ivory Coast sensation Yan Diomande is on trial at Rangers and even featured for the B Team against Monaco on Saturday, 7 October, per Football Scotland.
The media outlet reported that the young winger was given a chance to impress at Ibrox perhaps for a full-time contract.
The French side ended up winning the game by a 3-1 scoreline.
Good for the academy
Clubs benefit from young players coming for trials as it allows clubs to identify and nurture talent from an early age, potentially discovering future stars.
These young players often bring enthusiasm, raw potential, and a hunger to prove themselves, which can invigorate the team's training sessions and competitive spirit.
If he's the real deal and potentially a first-team player, then Gers will not even be spending a transfer fee to get him to the club.
Developing homegrown talent can save on expensive transfers and wages for established players and they also add to quotas in European competitions.
Clubs can also profit by selling young talents to other teams, generating revenue and boosting the club's finances.
Rangers have been renowned for their youth academies and Diomande might be worth keeping an eye on in the future.
