Rangers sign Danilo in £6m deal from Feyenoord

Rangers have signed Danilo Pereira da Silva on a five-year contract from Feyenoord in a deal worth up to £6m.

The striker, 24, was a long-term target for Rangers after successive bids and becomes Michael Beale's eighth summer signing.

Danilo, who scored 12 goals last season, has won the Eredivisie title twice - first at Ajax, then with Feyenoord last season.

"I'm super happy," the Brazilian said after joining Rangers. "I can't wait to start playing at Ibrox in front of the supporters.

"I am so in love already with the club and I'm excited to be part of the Rangers team. It's time to get to work and I hope that I can repay the love that they have shown to me."

Beale added: "Danilo is a player that I have personally been aware of since his time at Ajax. He had a breakthrough year on loan at FC Twente and then back at Ajax before joining Feyenoord last summer.

"He has won the Dutch title in both of the last two seasons and his goal-per-minute ratio is very good.
