Glasgow Rangers snap up El Hadji Diouf on loan
Scottish Giants Glasgow Rangers have completed the loan signing of Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385’ striker El Hadji Diouf on the final day of the January 2011 transfer window.
Rangers have confirmed that the Senegalese striker has joined the side for a six-month term. Diouf is not the only player who has joined Rangers on the final day of transfer, as Arsenal defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Bartley-c21555 also moved to Ibrox on the final day.
“I know this is one of the biggest clubs in the world, that's why I'm here. I want to score goals and make the fans happy. I'm ready to win the title,” stated the Blackburn striker.
On the question of whether he would be interested in extending his stay at the club, Diouf replied that it was up to him and the club to take that decision and whatever transpires would be known in the summer.
Diouf has played for many Premier League clubs, which include the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauro-Formica-c24972.
Diouf burst onto the World Stage following his impressive form in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The player was responsible for taking his home country, Senegal, to the quarterfinals of the tournament, which was a huge achievement. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026
in extra time, but the side registered victories over the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. That led to him being named in Pele’s list of greatest footballers ever.
However, Diouf is usually remembered for his controversies and disciplinary issues on the pitch. The striker has been fined and banned by Union of European Football Associations and Football Association numerous times for spitting over fans and players.
He was recently seen insulting a Queens Park Rangers’ player when he was lying on the field with a broken leg. His career has therefore been overshadowed by such issues and Rangers would have to keep a close eye on every move of his.
The move would benefit http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 in many ways as there is no denying his natural talent. Diouf has the ability to play on the right wing as well as a support striker. His delivery from the wings is still considered as one of the best in the footballing world.
