RANGERS Football Club has tonight reached agreement with Valencia to sign 19 year old attacking midfielder Aaron Niguez Esclapez on a two year loan deal, with an option to purchase.

Walter Smith has been a long time admirer of the Spanish under 20 Internationalist who has represented his country at every youth level.

Indeed Aaron was voted Player of the Tournament at the 2007 Under 19 European Championships and is highly thought of in his homeland.

The midfielder has played for Valencia's first team in the Champions League when he made his debut against Roma in the Olympic Stadium at the age of 17.

Last season he enjoyed a sucessful loan spell at Iraklis in the Greek League where he scored three goals in 12 games having been loaned to Spanish lower league side Xerez the previous year.

He was courted by a number of top clubs in Greece and Spain but has opted to join Rangers and will arrive in Glasgow tomorrow for a medical and to finalise personal terms.
