Rangers buy Norway midfielder Aasgaard from Luton

Midfielder Thelo Aasgaard says he "always pictured" himself in a Russell Martin team after completing a deal to join Rangers from Luton Town.

The 23-year-old Liverpool-born Norway cap has agreed a four-year contract with the Scottish Premiership runners-up and arrives for a reported £3.5m fee.

He becomes the Ibrox club's fifth new signing this summer after Lyall Cameron, Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell and Emmanuel Fernandez.

"When I heard about Rangers, I was over the moon. I am glad to get it over the line," Aasgaard told Rangers TV.

"I have played against the manager's teams a few times and I always pictured myself in his team and to be here now is really good.

"It was an easy decision. I love the number of games here, it is like the EFL and I love playing. The stature and history is enough as well."

Martin, who takes charge of Rangers for the first time when they welcome Club Brugge to Ibrox for a friendly on Sunday, says Aasgaard has the "necessary qualities to thrive at this club".

And sporting director Kevin Thelwell said he had been "on the radar of several clubs around Europe" and was "capable of making the difference in the final third".

Who is Aasgaard?

Having spent time in Liverpool's academy, Aasgaard moved to Wigan Athletic before making his senior debut for them in 2020.

He would go on to make 163 appearances and score 30 times over a five-year period before joining Luton in January.

Having represented Norway - the country of his father - through the age groups, Aasgaard made his full debut in March, scoring in a 5-0 win over Moldova.

He was an ever-present for Luton during the second half of last season but opted to leave after their relegation from the English Championship.
