Rangers have secured a deadline day signing by bringing in Colombian winger Oscar Cortes from RC Lens. The 20yearold has joined on loan for the rest of the season as Rangers aim to compete for both domestic and European success. This move adds to manager Philippe Clement's three signings in January, including Fabio Silva and Mohamed Diomande.
The deal was finalized just hours before Thursday's transfer window closed at 11:30pm. As part of this agreement, Rangers have an option to buy Cortes when his loan term ends at the conclusion of this season.
Cortes has made four appearances for Ligue 1 side RC Lens this season and scored one goal against Stade Reims last year. He also holds one cap for Colombia after making his international debut last summer.
In response to joining Rangers, Cortes expressed his honor and privilege while emphasizing his excitement about playing alongside his new teammates. Meanwhile, manager Clement is thrilled with adding Cortez to their squad due to positive discussions they've had regarding how he can contribute towards achieving team goals.
