Rangers sign striker Kevin Kelsy from Portland Timbers
Rangers have confirmed the signing of Venezuelan striker Kevin Kelsy from MLS side Portland Timbers. The 22-year-old joins the Scottish Premiership club on a four-year deal.
The transfer is valued at approximately £9.2 million (roughly $12.75 million), which includes a 15% sell-on clause. This transaction makes Kelsy the second most expensive signing in Rangers' history, trailing only Tore André Flo's 2000/2001 transfer. For Venezuelan football, Kelsy becomes the second most expensive national player ever transferred, following Salomón Rondón.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes praised Kelsy’s hunger and quality, noting his ability to strengthen the team’s attacking options. Kelsy expressed his excitement about joining the club, stating he is ready for this new chapter and eager to score goals for the fans.
