Rory Wilson signs Adidas deal as Rangers rising star set for mammoth transfer decision

In-demand Rangers youngster Rory Wilson is set to sign his first big contract - with Adidas.

The teenage striker looks set to leave Ibrox this summer with Aston Villa leading the English Premier League chase for his signature.

Wilson has still to sign his first professional contract but has agreed a six-figure boot deal to wear Adidas sportswear and boots for the next four-and-a-half years.

The 16-year-old is seen as one of the best young players in the United Kingdom and the German sports brand beat off stiff competition from rival competitors to get him on-board.

Wilson who has also signed up with the CAA Base agency, who boast a client list that includes the likes of Heung-min Son, Raphael Varane, James Maddison and Richarlison

The Scotland youth cap was the hero for Rangers under-18s again as he scored the only goal in the weekend win over Celtic.

That came fresh on the back of him scoring and helping Rangers to lift the Scottish Youth Cup, with victory against Hearts last week.

Rangers are keen to get him to remain at Ibrox and sign his first professional forms but Wilson has already told them he plans to move on this summer.

It is a blow to the Ibrox who will now try and maximise any transfer fee they can for a player that has come through their ranks.

They found themselves in a similar position with Billy Gilmour before he sealed a big-money move to Chelsea in 2017.
