Rangers complete the signing of Bongani Zungu | OneFootball

After a lengthy pursuit, Rangers have completed the signing of defender Bongani Zungu from recently-relegated Ligue 2 side Amiens.

The South Africa international has joined the Scottish giants on loan until the end of the season. Rangers have the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

“Bongani fits the profile of player that adds further strength and depth to our midfield,” Steven Gerrard said.

“We made it clear that we wanted a player who will enhance our squad and starting XI. We believe Bongani does this.

“We wanted a dominant midfielder with the right profile who can enhance the team and compliment other players we have. We have monitored this situation all summer and now feel it’s the right time.”

Bongani was huge for South Africa during the 2019 AFCON finals as he scored the goal that helped Bafana Bafana progress to the knockout stage, where they progressed to the quarter-finals.
