BREAKING NEWS: According to reports, Arsenal is close to signing Rangers sensation Ibrox with an Ibrox bid.

Alexander Smith, a star from Rangers, is reportedly nearing a six-figure deal to join Arsenal permanently.

The news agency claims on their website (February 22) that the Gunners have been keeping tabs on the gifted young player for some time and are now prepared to formally express their interest.

The 15-year-old’s transfer to the Ibrox club is now scheduled to begin, and Director of Football Edu is expected to agree to a six-figure sum for the “outstanding talent.”

“Alexander Smith, a 15-year-old starlet for the Rangers, is in danger of joining Arsenal,” they said.

Smith has been pursued by the Gunners for a while, and they want to give the Rangers a six-figure salary in exchange for their exceptional skill.

“Arsenal is now prepared to begin negotiations with the Gers regarding the signing of their international midfield star.”

For Rangers, another one goes down the drain.

Many young players have left Rangers in recent years; the most notable departure was Rory Wilson, who joined Aston Villa.

With recent breakthroughs from players like Ross McCausland, Adam Devine, Alex Lowry, and Leon King, the team has done a good job developing fresh talent.

However, there are still skilled players trying to establish themselves in the younger teams, notably Johnny Yfeko, Bailey Rice, and Zak Lovelace.

Smith will be a huge loss to the club’s academy program because of his stellar reputation in Glasgow, where it was thought he would eventually make it to the first squad.

However, it’s never easy for young players or Scottish clubs to genuinely fight against Arsenal when they come calling. The Bears have no say in this matter, but maybe they may make excellent use of the money that is received.

Chris Jack reports that Ibrox, a standout player on the first team, has agreed to a new multi-year contract with the Rangers.
