Philippe Clement complete contract talk with premier League team over Abdallah Sima departure today……
Philippe Clement has confirmed Rangers are in discussions with Brighton over Abdallah Sima – but that no decision has been taken on the attacker’s loan deal.
Rangers have been rocked by the news that the 15-goal attacker is set to miss up to three months after undergoing surgery for an issue sustained with the Senegal team at AFCON.
The forward was a key part of the squad in the first half of the campaign and Sima’s absence is viewed as a major blow to the club’s trophy hopes.
Naturally, the situation has had plenty fearing that Abdallah Sima might’ve played his last game for Rangers but as things stand, Brighton are yet to make a call on the loan switch.
Three months takes the attacker into April and with only a month left of the campaign, there are faint hopes Sima can have an impact at the business end of the season.
Asked about talks with Brighton – who may well wish to rehab their £6m attacker themselves – and potentially signing a replacement, Clement was clear a decision is yet to be taken.
“First about Abda, those are things that we discuss with Brighton so that’s the first step,” said Clement. “Secondly I don’t talk about positions or what we’re going to do.
