Rangers Football Club which plays in the Scottish Premiership has signed Brazilian national Danilo Pereira Da Silva on a five-year deal from Dutch football club Feyenoord.
According to Ranger FC’s website, “Rangers Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of Danilo Pereira Da Silva on a five-year deal from Feyenoord, subject to international clearance. The striker becomes Michael Beale’s (Manager) eighth signing of the summer transfer window as he joins the club ahead of the 2023/24 season.”
Speaking after signing for Rangers, Danilo Pereira Da Silva said: “I’m super happy. I can’t wait to start playing at Ibrox in front of the supporters. I am so in love already with the club and I’m excited to be part of the Rangers team. It’s time to get to work and I hope that I can repay the love that they have shown to me.”
Manager Michael Beale commented: “Danilo is a player that I have personally been aware of since his time at Ajax. He had a breakthrough year on loan at FC Twente and then back at Ajax before joining Feyenoord last summer.”
Beale added, “He has won the Dutch title in both of the last two seasons and his goal-per-minute ratio is very good. He is an exciting player who likes to create and score goals, he is one that I believe is a good fit for our squad and he will give us another big option in the attacking areas of the pitch.”
