“Like a streaking meteorite, the Rangers forward embodies explosive pace, powerful shooting, and raw energy—a whirlwind of talent worth every penny of his £4 million valuation. Despite the apt comparison to a celestial object, it’s not all praise for Oscar Cortes. His quick stint at RC Lens saw him flash in and out like a shooting star, leaving fans wanting more. Now, with Rangers extending his stay until 2025, Cortes embarks on a new chapter.

With only a handful of Ligue 1 appearances and one goal to his name, Cortes’ time at Lens was underwhelming, earning a paltry ‘2/10’ rating from critics. Hindered by limited playtime and a skeptical coach, his potential remained untapped. Lens, aiming to alleviate financial strains, agreed to a multimillion-pound deal with Rangers, providing a much-needed boost to their finances.

Lens President Joseph Oughourlian shared his initial hopes for Cortes, acknowledging the player’s talent despite facing challenges with integration. On the flip side, Rangers manager Philippe Clement is optimistic about Cortes’ return, praising his impact on the team and hinting at a promising future at Ibrox. As Cortes gets ready to shine bright in Scotland, his meteoric rise may just be getting started.”
