Reports abroad earlier suggested the two clubs were in talks yet again, and sources confirmed to the Siya crew that Zungu could be a Rangers player by the end of the day before the European transfer market slams shut!
Rangers have since confirmed their latest acquisition on their social media channels.
Zungu joined Amiens in the French Ligue 1 a little over three years ago from Portugal and his popularity has been rising since.
