It looks as though a loan move could be in the pipeline.
This is a big development on a “tremendous” Rangers player’s future—he might now depart the team during the January transfer window.
January transfer business for Rangers
With a game remaining, the Gers are currently eight points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race, but they are still playing well under Philippe Clement. After taking over for Michael Beale in the Ibrox hot seat earlier in the season, the Frenchman has had a tremendous influence. His team has won their past two league games, and they will be trying to make it three straight when they play Dundee at home on Saturday afternoon in a crucial match.
With the January window drawing more and nearer, the Rangers will have the opportunity to bolster their roster even further before the season ends. A lot of links about the club’s possible transactions have surfaced, and none of the signings are really surprising.
Leicester City’s center back One player who has been linked to a move to the Gers is Harry Soutar, as Clement aims to bolster his defensive line. In the meantime, it has been reported by another source that the Rangers plan to recruit a few players in the coming month. But, there’s a chance that some people will leave Ibrox in the middle of the season; an update has surfaced on one such person.
Leon King might go from the Rangers
The Daily Record has learned of a significant new transfer tidbit that suggests Rangers defender Leon King may be sent on loan in January. Clement has given the go-ahead for King’s departure.
“Leon King’s January loan request is ready to be approved by Rangers manager Philippe Clement. In recent weeks, the 19-year-old has been absent from the Light Blues roster. Although King is a highly-regarded player, Clement is unable to guarantee him consistent first-team involvement at this point in his career. The Rangers manager is now ready to consider viable center-back possibilities during the January transfer window.”
Two additional players mentioned are Kieran Dowell and Ridvan Yilmaz, who are described as “struggling for game time” and as considering “potential January moves”.
Rangers made a wise move by sending King out on loan the next month, enabling him to keep improving as a player instead of fighting for playing time under Clement.
The 19-year-old hasn’t played in any contests this season for the Scottish powerhouses, and it’s unlikely that he will play much more as the season goes on because games will inevitably get more crucial and intense.
Over the summer, the Light Blues were mentioned as potential suitors for the central defender.
King is a player who could benefit from a brief absence; former Rangers manager Alex McLeish has called him “tremendous” in the past after an outstanding performance against Anfield away in the Champions League.
King might return to the Gers next summer as a more well-rounded player after developing away from Ibrox between January and May. King has already proven his value to the team in the past, making 31 appearances despite his young age.
