Rangers have confirmed the signing of Portuguese forward Fabio Silva from Wolves.

The club confirmed on Thursday evening that the Portuguese attacker will arrive at Ibrox in January on loan until the end of the season.

Silva is Philippe Clement’s first signing as Rangers manager since his arrival in October.

Speaking after signing for Rangers, the 21-year-old said: “I am very happy, when I spoke to people about Glasgow and about Rangers, everyone told me good things about the club and the history.

“I played here once with Porto in the Europa League, so I already know the warm club, the environment and the stadium, so everything is perfect.

“I am very happy to be here, and I can’t wait to start training with the team.”

Rangers manager Philippe Clement said: “I am delighted we have been able to secure the signing of Fabio, he is a highly-rated striker and it is fantastic to have him joining our squad for the remainder of the season.

“He is a young player who already has some great experience in his career in both England and in Europe, and I am looking forward to working with him moving forward.”

Silva, who has represented Portugal at every youth level, has found game time hard to come by at the English Premier League side this season and is ready to move for regular football.

The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Porto before moving to Wolves in 2020 and the highly-rated youngster has since had loan spells at Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven.

Rangers can register new signings when the transfer window opens on January 1.
