According to The Athletic, the Scottish champions have agreed a ‘six-figure deal’ with Finnish club FC Honka.

The transfer of the 19-year-old to Ibrox has long been mooted.

Alegria, who came through at Deportes Tolima in his homeland before making the switch to Finland last year, is expected to join up with the Rangers B team.

Brian Gilmour's have already added Charlie McCann from Manchester United and are performing well in the Lowland League, currently sitting second with six wins from seven.

The Colombian forward is understood to be a different type of forward than Alfredo Morelos and has stood out when playing for the country’s youth sides.

Rangers, who are in European action tonight, are close to adding another to the first-team, understood to be midfielder Juninho Bacuna.

Steven Gerrard said: “The progress is really good. Until it’s done and dusted, it’s very hard to give an exact time and date.”
