Uchebo On Trial At Rangers

Former youth international, Michael Uchebo has become the latest player to arrive on trial at Rangers as the Ibrox club wait to hear whether West Ham United will return with an enhanced bid for Nikica Jelavic.

Uchebo has rejected a contract extension with Dutch club VVV Venlo and is keen to further his career in British football, despite failing to secure a deal with Stoke City earlier this month. Uchebo is out of contract at the end of the season and would be allowed to leave for a fee in the region of £1m.

“I think I have over-stayed my time at Venlo and I believe now is the time for me to get a move on in my career,” he said.

“I want to move to an ambitious club either now or at the end of the season. My dream is to play for the national team and I believe I would have a better chance of doing that if I can play in the UK.”
