Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe has agreed a deal with Scottish giants Rangers for an 18-month loan deal to Ibrox.
The Cherries are understood to have two recall options on the English striker - for this summer and in January of 2020.
The 36-year-old has 57 England caps and is in the top 10 goalscorers of all-time in the Premier League.
However, the former Tottenham Hotspur striker hasn't made a Premier League start yet this season.
Rangers are managed by ex-Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, of course, and Defoe's former England team-mate.
Defoe joined Bournemouth back in the summer of 2017, also having previous spells at West Ham United, Tottenham, Portsmouth and Sunderland.
