Rangers F.C
Rangers director “excited” after securing top young Premier League attacker
The 16-year-old forward spent six years progressing through the Premier League team’s Academy’s youth ranks before being signed by the Gers.
Rangers is able to offer players professional contracts as early as 16, whereas teams south of the border must wait until the player is 17 years old to sign an agreement.
Arian Allen, who is a “dynamic forward who can play across the frontline,” will be a member of Steven Smith’s U18 team through the end of the campaign.
Zeb Jacobs: Rangers thrilled about signing Arian Allen
Speaking of the move, Zeb Jacobs, Director of the Rangers Academy, was undoubtedly pleased to sign Arian Allen from Everton.
It is evident from an official Rangers statement about the agreement that the club’s forward-thinking youth department holds great regard for this young player.
“Having Arian on board is fantastic for us,” Jacobs remarked. “We can’t wait to collaborate with him and help him reach his full potential in the upcoming seasons.”
Although Arian Allen is only 16 years old, so reasonable expectations should be set, this is more proof of Rangers’ aggressive youth department’s efforts to find outstanding young players.
Before he joined the Bees, Rangers also signed young Brentford player Nathan Young-Coombes, while Bailey Rice (Motherwell) and Johnly Yfeko (Leicester) are on the fringe of the starting lineup.
The Gers can guarantee a more seamless pathway to the first team while providing an elite Academy setting that is on par with or better than many of the facilities down south.
Even though the Rangers lack the Premier League’s financial support, they are still a desirable option, which is why Arian Allen is the newest player to join the team.
