Can Olsen rediscover his Brugge form at Rangers?

2 hours ago 1

With a loan deal for Andreas Skov Olsen over the line, Rangers have now made their third signing of the January window.

But what are they getting in the Denmark winger?

While Olsen, 26, has struggled at Wolfsburg, it was his electric form for Club Brugge that earned him a £12m move to the Bundesliga.

Olsen made 124 appearances for the Belgian club and scored 49 goals, setting up a further 30 in his almost three-year spell.

During his final six months in the Belgian Pro League, Olsen was in the top 10% for shots, assists, non-penalty goals and progressive carries per 90 minutes.

He has shown his abilities at the highest level in the Champions League.

Olsen played all six Brugge games in the Champions League last season and started five, including the 1-1 draw at Celtic. He registered four shots in that match, more than any other player.

Across his six Champions League appearances Olsen created six chances, had seven shots (four on target) and two big chances while generating an xG of 1.13.

Internationally, the 26-year-old has 40 caps for Denmark after making his debut in 2020 and has scored eight goals. He missed out on their latter World Cup qualifying games (including the 4-2 defeat to Scotland) but started the 3-0 win in Greece earlier in the campaign.

If Olsen can rediscover his Brugge form at Ibrox then Rangers certainly have an exciting player on their books.
