Rangers flop Umar Sadiq is set to complete a stunning move to Valencia.
The former Ibrox loanee is expected to undergo a medical today ahead of a proposed loan move to the La Liga side.
Sadiq, 27, is currently at Real Sociedad but is wanted by Valencia on an initial loan with an option to buy the striker.

Sadiq spent six months on loan at Rangers back in 2018 when he penned a temporary switch from Italian side Roma.
He played just four times for Rangers before being sent back to the Serie A side following an unsuccessful loan stint in Scotland.
Sadiq failed to score once for Rangers playing just 116 minutes for the first team under Steven Gerrard - most of which came in a Betfred Cup semi-final loss to Aberdeen where he was a shock starter.

Since then, Sadiq's career has taken a significant upturn as he flourished on loan at Partizan which helped him earn a five-year deal with Almeria in Spain.
He went on to sign for Real Sociedad in September 2022. His contract there runs until the summer of 2028 but it now appears Sadiq will switch sides in the Spanish top flight to join Valencia.
Fabrizio Romano reports that a medical will take place on Friday ahead of the deal being sanctioned with finer details agreed between both clubs and the player.
