Ranger have been linked with a move for exciting forward Million Manhoef, but they could face some tough competition for his signature.
Rangers are reportedly interested in signing Vitesse winger Million Manhoef, but could face some competition for his signature. journalist Dean Jones has discussed the potential signing of Manhoef for the Scottish outfit with GIVEMESPORT, suggesting that he would get fans off their seat at Ibrox.
If Rangers aspire to make a substantial bid for the Scottish Premiership title, securing the services of further reinforcements in attack could significantly enhance their chances. Under the management of Philippe Clement, the Old Firm side have experienced a commendable improvement in performance, and the January transfer window presents an opportune moment for him to bolster the squad in preparation for the latter part of the season.
Manager Clement has maintained an impressive streak of form since his arrival in Glasgow in October and he will be looking to carry this momentum into the second half of the campaign as they hunt down their rivals Celtic.
Manhoef a target for Rangers
According to TEAMtalk, Rangers are among the clubs showing an interest in Vitesse winger Manhoef, who could be available for a bargain fee during the January transfer window. Clement’s side are set to face competition to secure his signature, however, with English outfit Leicester City also considering a move.
The earlier report claims that a fee of just £3m could be enough to prise Manhoef away from the Dutch side, which could be seen as a bargain to any of the interested parties. The 22-year-old only has around 18 months remaining on his contract, so Vitesse understandably have a decision to make on the young winger.
However, in what could be a huge blow for Rangers, reports in Holland have claimed that technical director Benjamin Schmedes and head coach Edward Sturing are both of the opinion that Manhoef has to remain with the side for the remainder of the season as losing him could have a major impact on their fight to avoid being relegated this campaign. There’s also a feeling within the club that they could command a stronger fee for Manhoef in the future if his impressive performances continue.
Dean Jones – Manhoef would be a savvy signing
Jones has suggested that if Rangers can secure the signature of Manhoef in the January transfer window then it would be an exciting signing for the Scottish Premiership outfit. The journalist adds that he’s a tricky player who will get fans off their seats, and he’s a forward who picks up the ball in really nice positions in the final third. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones said…
Rangers face difficult fight in 2024
With Rangers knocked out of European competitions, their sole focus is now gaining ground on their rivals Celtic in the fight to win the Scottish Premiership this season. Clement has organised some touch friendlies over the winter break to stand his side in good stead for the remainder of the campaign, with Rangers set to face Copenhagen and Hertha Berlin later this month.
They return to action with a trip to Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup on 20th January, before two more aways games on the bounce against Hibernian and St Mirren to round off the month. Rangers currently have two games in hand on Celtic at the top of the table, but even victories in both of them games would see them two points adrift of the leaders.
