NNAMDI Ofoborh is "close to agreeing things" to join Rangers, boss Jason Tindall revealed.

The midfielder is understood to be in talks with the Scottish giants over a pre-contract agreement ahead of a potential move in the summer.

Ofoborh's deal at Cherries expires at the end of this season. If he were to agree to a deal with Rangers, Cherries would be entitled to compensation, as the Nigeria youth international is under the age of 24.

The 21-year-old made his competitive Cherries debut in September of last year and has gone on to play four more times for the club, mainly as a late substitute.

Asked if Ofoborh was likely to follow team-mate Jack Simpson, who today signed a pre-contract agreement with Rangers, Tindall said: "I think so. The conversations I’ve had with Nnamdi, I think they are down the line on that one.

"I know it’s a club I think he would want to go and play for. It’s not as far down the line as what Jack is, but I think he is close to agreeing things to also go to Rangers.

"Credit to the football club and everyone that’s worked with Nnamdi, from where he was when he joined us to where he currently is now and to where he might end up, I think is great credit to everyone at this football club that’s helped him to achieve that."

Ofoborh joined Cherries' academy in 2016, following his release from Millwall.
