Rangers have completed the signing of Rabbi Matondo on a four-year deal from Schalke. Matondo becomes the fourth signing of the summer as Giovanni van Bronckhorst looks to add to their squad for the upcoming season. Rangers won the Scottish Cup but finished runners-up in both the Europa League and the Scottish Premiership. Matondo joined Schalke in 2019 but managed just two goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 21-year-old also has 11 caps for Wales.
“I am absolutely buzzing to have signed for a club as big as Rangers. I am just looking forward to getting on the pitch at Ibrox in front of the amazing fans we have here at Rangers and I am excited,” Rabbi Matondo said after completing his move to Rangers. “This is a big club with a massive history and I just want to create more memories and more history here at the club.”
“I’m really pleased to welcome Rabbi to Rangers. I spoke last week about my desire to add more attacking quality to my squad and we all believe Rabbi will do that,” Rangers head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said. “He will bring many strong attributes to the team and I am really looking forward to seeing him in training this afternoon for the first time.”
“We have been quietly working to secure Rabbi’s signature for the last few weeks since the June internationals finished,” Rangers sporting director Ross Wilson said. “We wanted to invest in a wide player this summer and we are excited with what Rabbi will bring to our group, with his speed and his general style of play. At 21 years old there’s lots more to come from Rabbi and he will be a strong investment and addition to our group.”
