Scottish giants Rangers have handed VVV Venlo striker Michael Uchebo a trial with a view to a permanent transfer. The lanky Nigerian wants a move away from the Netherlands, where he currently plays with VVV, and is training with Rangers with a view to completing a switch north to Scotland.
Uchebo also had a trial with Stoke City recently but the move did not go through. Rangers are expected to pay Venlo a fee of around £1-1.5m for the striker.
VVV has also revealed that there is interest from Russia for Uchebo’s services. A move eastwards may be the only option left for the Nigerian U-20 international if he doesn’t receive a work permit for his transfer to the SPL.
