He possesses an excellent range of passing in his repertoire and is comfortable shooting with both feet.

It remains to be seen if Gbadamosi would be able secure a work permit should his transfer to one of the Scottish clubs come to fruition.

He is currently with the Shooting Stars squad at their training camp and was involved in a friendly on Monday.

Rangers have five players of Nigerian descent in their ranks namely Leon Balogun, Joe Aribo, Calvin Bassey, Malcolm Ebiowei and Dapo Mebude, while Armstrong Okoflex and Tobi Oluwayemi play for Celtic’s youth teams.
