Rangers have signed winger Andreas Skov Olsen on loan from Wolfsburg until the end of the season.

Sky Sports News understands the 26-year-old turned down several offers to opt for a move to Ibrox, with an option to make the move permanent included within the deal.

It is believed the fee to trigger that summer switch would be around €10m (£8.6m) for the Denmark international who moved to the Bundesliga from Club Brugge for £12m last January.

The winger started his career at FC Nordsjælland, where he scored 20 times in 41 games, and played alongside Rangers' Oliver Antman.

He moved to Serie A club Bologna, where he featured 70 times in three years before a move to Belgium as Club Brugge signed him in January 2022.

In his first season, Skov Olsen helped the club win the league title, plus scored the decisive goal in the Belgian Super Cup.

Skov Olsen played a key role as the club retained their title the year after, before an outstanding first half of the campaign last season saw him provide 12 goal contributions in just 19 league outings, earning a £12m move to Wolfsburg.

However, he started just eight league games over the past year in Germany and has opted to move to Ibrox after being left excited by the project at the club.
