Report: Zelalem loan extended

According to reports, Rangers and Arsenal have agreed a further six months for on-loan Emirates star Gedion Zelalem to continue plying his trade at Ibrox.

The 18-year old playmaker has been a revelation for Rangers, proving himself every inch the potential future superstar his ability promises, and Ibrox boss Mark Warburton has been in talks to have his loan from Arsenal extended, which was initially the plan if all parties were pliable.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have been pretty impressive this season, and right now it would be hard for an Academy product to break through into his first team, so Warburton’s Rangers is perfect development ground for the youngster, who has frankly strolled through life in the Championship.

It now looks certain his loan from the Emirates will continue until next summer. Whether Wenger consents to anything beyond that, only time will tell, but Warburton would surely be keen for that too.
