Michael Beale is prepared to U-turn on his ‘no loans’ policy in order to strike a deal to land Abdallah Sima from Brighton.
The Rangers boss has previously gone on record as saying he would prefer to avoid tapping into the temporary transfer market as he pieces together a major summer rebuild. But, while that remains the Englishman’s stance, Beale is prepared to make an exception to the rule where the 22-year-old Senegalese international is concerned.
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has already informed Sima he will be surplus to requirements at the Amex again next season, after the winger spent the last two campaigns farmed out to Stoke and French outfit Angers. He has yet to make his debut for the Seasiders, two years after joining them for a fee of around £7m from Slavia Prague.
