Rangers manager Philippe Clement has confirmed that Finnish winger Oliver Antman is currently in Belgium to finalize a permanent transfer to Anderlecht, with multiple reports indicating the clubs have reached an agreement on a fee. The deal brings the attacker closer to a move away from Glasgow after a stint in Scotland that failed to establish him as a regular starter.
Rangers and Anderlecht Reach Agreement Over Oliver Antman
According to reports from Belgian outlets including Het Laatste Nieuws and Voetbalkrant, Clement verified that Antman traveled to Belgium to undergo medical examinations and put the finishing touches on his contract with the Jupiler Pro League giants.
Industry sources have connected the Brussels club with a significant financial outlay—rumored to reach up to 5 million euros—to beat out domestic competition for the forward’s signature, outmaneuvering rival interest that had previously linked him to other clubs in the division.
Career Trajectory: From Barcelona Youth Radar to Scottish Premiership
Antman’s path to Anderlecht highlights a nomadic and developing career. As a youth prospect, the Finnish international drew early attention from prominent European academies, including FC Barcelona, before building his professional reputation elsewhere.
His time in Scotland with Rangers, however, did not unfold as a headline-grabbing success story.
