At the age of just 21, Rabbi Matondo is a young man in a hurry.
So rapid that the Bundelisga’s biggest boffins believe he could give Erling Haaland a serious run for his money - the winger had already clocked up air miles at five different clubs in four different countries, before arriving in Glasgow yesterday morning for the next stage of his journey.
A product of a Manchester City production line which has raked in almost £170m in sales of academy players over these last few years, Matondo checked in at Rangers to be handed Joe Aribo ’s old No.17 shirt - a week after the Nigerian’s £10m move to Southampton. And he’s already got one eye on using his first few months in Scotland as a springboard and fast-track towards this year’s World Cup Finals with Wales. Matondo, it seems, is not one for hanging around.
