Rangers have completed the signing of left-winger Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee.

The Mauritania-born 21-year-old, who has signed a four-year contract, has played twice for France Under-20s.

Gassama made 47 appearances last season, all but seven being starts, and scored eight goals.

He helped the Owls finish 12th in the Championship, but Wednesday are embroiled in financial troubles as owner Dejphon Chansiri looks to sell the ailing club.

"He is certainly an exciting player who will get supporters on the edge of their seats, and I believe he will add an extra dimension to our attack with his qualities," said head coach Russell Martin.

"He is hungry to improve as a player and, most importantly, is desperate to pull on the Rangers jersey and help deliver success to the club."

Having come through the youth ranks with Paris Saint-Germain, Gassama had a loan spell with Belgian club Eupen before joining Wednesday in August 2023.

Overall, he played 84 times for the Championship club, scoring 12 goals and contributing four assists.
