DJEIDI Gassama hopes Rangers can take him to the next level after the winger joined the club on a four-year contract.
The 21-year-old, who came through the youth academy at Paris Saint-Germain, became the latest addition to Russell Martin’s side earlier today as he joined the squad from Sheffield Wednesday.
In an exclusive first interview with the club, Gassama says that as soon as there was interest from Rangers, he knew it was the best place for him to progress his career.
He explained: “I am very happy to be here, I am very excited to start with my new club, it is a big club with a lot of history. For a long time, I have known about Rangers, and when they came in this summer I said to my agent, ‘we go directly’.
"I have seen some games, and some European games, and I really like it.”
On his journey so far, which includes time a PSG training alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, Gassama says he has learned a lot so far in his career.
He continued: “I started playing when I was young and then I played for the under-19’s at PSG and made my debut. It was crazy to be in a team with players like Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.
"It was a good experience for me to train with them, I learned a lot of things about the gym, what they do on and off the pitch. They give 100 per cent and when you see them you have to do the same, and even the training with them is like a game.
“The last two years moving to Sheffield, they gave me a good progression and a good experience in English football. I took my chance and now I am here, and I think I can continue to improve here.”
