Unwanted Rangers player responds to rumors that Ibrox is leaving and suggests making a move in late January

This season, Rabbi Matondo has struggled for first team football, which has sparked rumors about his possible exit.

As Rangers manager, Philippe Clement has had a rather successful first transfer window.

With the addition of midfielder Mohamed Diomande from FC Nordsjaelland for an alleged cost of approximately £4.5 million and forward Fabio Silva on loan from Wolves, the Belgian has made a lasting impression on the team this month.

In the final days of the transfer window, the Gers are eager to bolster their roster with more talent. Oscar Cortes, a winger, is reportedly just a medical away from finishing his loan move from RC Lens, and Jefte, a left defender for Fluminense, may yet make the switch to Ibrox even though he is currently on loan at APOEL in Cyprus.

Only Sam Lammers (loan) and Steven Davis (retirement) have departed the Light Blues squad this month as Clement’s team looks to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title. This month has been all about strengthening the Rangers roster.

Rabbi Matondo is one player that has been in the news a lot lately. After stints on loan at Stoke City and Cercle Brugge, the winger was acquired by the Gers from German team Schalke at the beginning of the previous campaign.

After relocating to Glasgow, the 11-time Welsh international has found it difficult to have the desired impact. In his first 18 months, he only made 31 Premiership games, the great majority of which came off the bench.

Matondo, who has struggled this season in particular, has only started four league games; the other eight have been as substitutes.

Due to his lack of first team experience, the 23-year-old has been linked to a return to the Bundesliga, where relegation-threatened Mainz still holds great regard for him.

Football Scotland, however, notes that Matondo is eager to stay and defend his spot at Ibrox and is motivated to make a name for himself there.

Abdallah Sima’s exposure to the first team may expand in the upcoming weeks due to a recent injury. The Senegalese international is anticipated to miss a significant amount of time due to an injury sustained while training at the Africa Cup of Nations.
