Wycombe Wanderers fans are rejoicing on Twitter after reportedly Rangers bound Bournemouth midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh completed a loan move to the EFL Championship club [Wycombewanderers.co.uk].
Ofoborh has been linked with Rangers for several weeks and the Daily Record reported this morning that a pre-contract deal for the 21-year-old is likely to be confirmed before the end of deadline day.
It had previously been suggested that the Gers could look to pay a fee to the Cherries to bring the Nigeria international to Ibrox in this window.
However, instead, Wycombe Wanderers have snapped him up on loan until the end of the season.
It’s a second stint at Adams Park for Ofoborh, who made 25 appearances on loan there last season.
“We know what Nnamdi is all about and we’re really pleased to bring him back here,” said Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth [Wycombewanderers.co.uk]. “There were a lot of clubs interested in signing him, but Nnamdi enjoyed his time with us last season and knows there’s a great opportunity for him to develop his experience further by coming back and helping us over the second half of the season.”
“He’s got all the attributes to become a top-class central midfielder, as we saw last season with his ability at both ends of the pitch, and I know he can also fill in in defence which could prove to be useful.”
Wycombe are currently struggling at the foot of the Championship table and many of their supporters feel that the arrival of Ofoborh will give their team a much-needed boost.
Here’s a selection of reactions from Twitter:
Meanwhile, the manager of another Championship club has confirmed he’s trying to complete a loan move for a Rangers player as soon as possible.
