After his outstanding growth with Rangers, Abdallah Sima has stated that he believes a way to stay at the team permanently may be discovered.
The Brighton forward, who is now on loan, stated that the team has “everything for me to be happy” and that “I hope we can find something for me” during the pre-match press conference on December 13, which was held in conjunction with manager Philippe Clement.
The 4th Official (December 8) reports that negotiations for a permanent contract involving the 22-year-old have already begun with the Seagulls, despite the fact that the asking price is now too expensive.
“You know in football everything can happen,” Sima (17m 50s) remarked. Since this is a team I truly admire, I must admit that I’m incredibly happy to be in Glasgow and to be wearing this particular shirt. I said in my first interview that’s a club I really like.
“Everything I need to be happy is there.” I’m glad to be here and am hopeful that we will discover something for me. But right now, what matters most is that I’m thrilled to be here and support the team.
Persuaded
Sima’s early commitment to the Light Blues appears to be a very positive move, and it undoubtedly boosts the team’s chances of staying at Ibrox.
For a player his age and skill level, a season in the SPFL might have been just another training ground before a Premier League career, either with his parent club or somewhere else.
However, it appears that he has developed a bond with the Gers that has persuaded him to stay until the summer, and based on the evidence thus far, it is fortunate that he does.
He has established himself as the main goal threat in a team that has far too few of them, with 13 goals in 27 Rangers appearances across all competitions. He has already been recognized for his performances with the October Player of the Month title in the SPFL.
Kemar Roofe struggles to remain in shape, Cyriel Dessers struggles to find consistency, Sam Lammers struggles to find much success, and Danilo was recently ruled out for the long run due to a significant knee injury.
Although the campaign’s first half has fallen far short of expectations, especially under Michael Beale, things have improved under Clement, and Rangers are theoretically still in position to win a triple or perhaps a quadruple, depending on what happens in Spain.
That might seem excessively optimistic given the squad’s current shortcomings, but without Sima, things would be much worse, so if a deal with Brighton can be struck, that would be very beneficial.
