One-time Rangers target 20 goals and Salah comparisons; Rangers will be wishing they’d signed £5m star now
One-time Rangers target 20 goals and Salah comparisons; Rangers will be wishing they’d signed £5m star now
Former Rangers target Andreas Skov Olsen, who is currently regarded as “the best player in Belgium,” has helped Ibrox’s one-that-
got-away goal push his season total to 20 goals.
Rangers plan to welcome a new winger to Ibrox during the winter of 2022. While it’s true that Amad Diallo’s brief stint north of the
border did not go as expected, two other players who were also under the Glasgow giants’ radar at the time have achieved some rather significant success after eluding the Gers’ defense.
Consider Albert Gudmundsson as an example.
The in-form Icelandic international, who was only available for £1 million in 2022, is currently valued at almost £30 million after
when he was also practicing his trade in Italy (Il Resto del Carlino).
Rangers wanted Andreas Skov Olsen in 2022
In contrast to Gudmudsson, Skov Olsen’s time in Serie A was short-lived. These days, Club Brugge’s gain is undeniably Bologna’s loss
(and Rangers’, one could say), as the free-scoring Denmark international increased his 2023/24 goal total to 20 with a penalty in Sunday’s 3-0 triumph over KRC Genk.
Kasper Hjulmand, the manager of Denmark, tells Het Laaste Nieuws, “I know Skov Olsen has what it takes,” thus ensuring that the
former Nordsjaelland standout will be included in his Euro 2024 team.
“In my opinion, Skov Olsen is still the best player in Belgium because of his lethal left foot.”
A large portion of Skov Olsen’s 20 goals and eight assists this season have come from his “deadly left foot.” It also helps to explain why
Skov Olsen, who enjoys cutting in from the right, has been compared to contemporary greats like Arjen Robben and Mo Salah.
Philippe Clement still lacks a top right-winger
The irony that Rangers fans will not miss is that, even if the team has recently had little trouble finding skilled left-wingers, the right-
wing position is still undoubtedly the worst in Philippe Clement’s lineup, two years after Skov Olsen relocated to Belgium from Scotland.
Due to Ross McCausland’s decline in form following his incredible pre-Christmas outburst and Scott Wright’s general lack of
effectiveness, Clement might be inclined to start Dujon Sterling, who arrived as a full-back in the summer,
right away against Benfica on Thursday.
