Djeidi Gassama’s Rangers transfer in limbo as Sheffield Wednesday owner looks to sell the club | OneFootball

Rangers want to sign Sheffield Wednesday winger Djeidi Gassama and the France youth international has already done and passed a medical with the Ibrox club.

However, the 21-year-old’s transfer to Rangers is now in limbo as it has not yet been signed off by Wednesday owner, Dejphon Chansiri, according to Sheffield Star.

The Owls chairman is in talks to sell the English Championship club and has accepted a bid, but he could delay the sales of Gassama.

A new owner could want to make his/her own decisions on the Wednesday players, which could see a delay in Gassama’s Rangers switch.

The Mauritania-born dribbling sensation has finalised his personal agreement with the Scottish Premiership club, while both clubs have agreed terms of a sale.

Having already said his goodbyes to his Wednesday teammates, Gassama has met with the Rangers manager Russell Martin and players, and he has been pictured in the Ibrox training kit at St. George’s Park.

Much of the documentation has been completed but the deal is not finalised and it remains to be seen whether Chansiri will look to sign it and approve his exit.

The Light Blues have snapped up Emmanuel Fernandez, Nasser Djiga, Max Aarons, Lyall Cameron, Thelo Aasgard and Joe Rothwell so far this summer, and Gassama is expected to be next.

The former Paris Saint-Germain attacker has 12 goals and four assists in 84 games for Wednesday, and his ability to feature on both wings and through the middle would be huge for Rangers should the proposed move go through.

The Gers need more quality players if they want to stop Celtic next season, but qualifying for the league phase of the Champions League will be presently on the mind of Martin as they host Panathinaikos in the first-leg of the second qualifying round on July 22.

He could do with the Frenchman for such a big game, and he will be hoping the Wednesday chairman does not delay Gassama’s move any further.
