Jose Cifuentes' Rangers move set to be 'rubbered stamped'

Rangers are reportedly closing in on sealing a deal for Jose Cifuentes.

It's said that the Ibrox club have all but agreed personal terms with the Ecuador international.

And the Daily Record states that Rangers are hopeful of being able to announce the signing in the coming days.

The 24-year-old will move to Scotland six months before his contract expires at LAFC.

His deal is up at the MLS side in December this year, but Los Angeles have made it clear that they would rather sell him now than lose the midfielder for nothing.

It's said that Cifuentes' agent was in Glasgow for talks earlier this month.

And it's believed that talks are now at an advanced stage, meaning all parties are closing in on a deal.

A major rebuild is expected at the Govan club this summer and Cifuentes is set to be the first building block laid down in the close season.

He is expected to be joined by Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling at Ibrox.

Meanwhile, Rangers youngster Aaron Lyall has agreed a new Ibrox deal after making his debut for the club against Hibs.

The Daily Record say 19-year-old has signed a year extension that will keep him at Ibrox over the course of next season under Michael Beale.

Lyall was thrown into Scottish Premiership action in Edinburgh on Sunday as Rangers defeated their capital rivals 3-1.

The Gers B regular replaced Scotland international Ryan Jack in the middle of the park.

Lyall has come through the ranks at Rangers and has featured heavily for he B team in the Lowland League in recent times.
