Lyall Cameron has also been added to Rangers&#8217; ranks, having signed a pre-contract back in January.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Now, it&#8217;s understood that Gassama will become the latest player to make the switch to Glasgow this summer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It&#8217;s believed that a\u00a0long-term contract is on the table for the French Under-20 internationalist.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n      Gassama joined the Owls two years ago after progressing through the academy system at Paris Saint-Germain.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      He scored eight times in 47 appearances last season.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      Rangers are now on the brink of adding Gassama to the squad as Martin puts his players through their paces at a training camp at St George&#8217;s Park this week.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      &#8220;I expect the team to look different again, the squad to look different in a week&#8217;s time,&#8221; Martin said when asked about the possibility of further transfer business. &#8220;But in a couple of weeks, so much can happen in football, so I don&#8217;t know.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      &#8220;So, I think we are, we&#8217;re definitely want to do more, for sure. And also probably some players need to to move on as well at some point because the squad&#8217;s going to start looking very big and very heavy. I don&#8217;t know is the answer, but it will definitely look different in a week&#8217;s time.&#8221;\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Russell Martin has added to his squad in recent weeks with the additions of\u00a0Max Aarons, Emmanuel Fernandes, Joe&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-249698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114821152664573422","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
