Rangers have bolstered their squad with the signing of South Korean winger Minsu Kim from Girona in a deal worth £8.5 million. The 20-year-old has signed an initial four-year contract, which includes an option for an additional year. Kim becomes the 12th player to join Rangers this summer as the transfer window approaches its deadline on September 3.

Impressive Background

Minsu Kim joined Girona in 2022, where he made a notable impact with the B team before making his La Liga debut in October 2024. He also had a brief stint in the Champions League shortly thereafter. Last season, while on loan at Andorra, a club in Spain's second tier, Kim scored six goals and provided four assists, showcasing his potential as a forward.

Excitement Around the Signing

Kim expressed his enthusiasm about joining Rangers, stating, "I'm so happy to sign for Rangers. I know it's a big club with great, great fans." He emphasized his commitment to helping the team improve and his determination to contribute to their success. Manager Derek McInnes also welcomed Kim, highlighting the importance of strengthening the forward line and noting Kim's technical skills and eagerness to develop.

As Kim is not included in Rangers' Conference League squad for the upcoming match against Jablonec, he may make his debut against Aberdeen on Sunday, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

In other news, McInnes confirmed that midfielder Nicolas Raskin did not travel with the team to the Czech Republic due to increasing transfer interest in him.
