# Glasgow Rangers: Arthur Numan waxes lyrical about Cedric Itten

**Glasgow Rangers legend Arthur Numan has been waxing lyrical about Cedric Itten, and says he has known about the forward since he was a scout at AZ Alkmaar.**

The forward recently made the move to Ibrox for a reported [£2m](https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/numan-predicts-cedric-will-click-and-become-a-huge-favourite-with-the-ibrox-fans/), with him so far being limited to substitute appearances. He was signed following an impressive spell at St. Gallen, where he scored [36](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cedric-itten/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/243856) goals in 63 matches, whilst he also has three goals in two caps for Switzerland.

Speaking to [The Sunday Post](https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/numan-predicts-cedric-will-click-and-become-a-huge-favourite-with-the-ibrox-fans/), Numan had plenty of praise for the forward. He said:

*“St Gallen had lots of scouts at their games as word was spreading about two or three of their players.* *Ermedin Demirovic, who was on loan there from Spanish club, Alaves, was attracting lots of attention from many clubs around Europe.*

*“He is a good striker, very dangerous, and ended up signing for Freiburg for around £5m.* *But Cedric Itten was a player who caught my eye.*

*“He is tall, has a good presence and can score goals. Over 15 or 20 yards, he has a good turn of pace, and can be very dangerous.* *I also liked his work ethic. At the right moment, he would move into space to give his team-mates an option for a pass.*

*“If you are the player in possession, it makes life so much easier when players look to receive the ball.*

*“His movement was clever, too. It wasn’t as though he was just running around for the sake of it.*

*“No, he picked the right moment, peeling away from his marker at nice times.*

*“He also looks to have that winning mentality. I could see him trying to inspire those around him, and the times I watched him, he always gave 100%.*

*“I think the Rangers fans are going to really take to him. He has that kind of personality.”*

So far, the Gers have not seen too much of the 23-year-old – he has only been on the pitch for 63 minutes for his new club – but clearly he has a lot of admirers. Numan won no less than 10 major trophies during his time in Glasgow – it would be fair to say that he knows a good player when he sees one.

Both Steven Gerrard and the Gers supporters will be hoping Itten can show exactly why the former left-back has been raving about him.
