Anderlecht attacker Francis Amuzu wants move to Rangers as transfer mooted
Anderlecht winger Francis Amuzu is said to be interested in a January move to Rangers, according to Voetbal24.
The Belgian outlet has reported that the 22-year-old doesn’t get enough minutes under Vincent Kompany and is looking for an exit.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been assessing his squad since arriving last month, and Amuzu could be his first signing next month.
Speculation has really started to rise in the last week.
Football Ghana reported on their website on Thursday (9th December) that the Bears were interested in a move.
They also insisted that Anderlecht are happy to cut ties, and have told the 22-year-old to find a new club due to his failure to cement a spot in their starting XI.
It wouldn’t cost a huge amount either, with Amuzu said to have a realise clause of £3.4million in his current contract [SportsWorldGhana].
Voetbal have also reported this week that a bid is expected from the Bears as we head towards the January window at speed.
Get it done.
Van Bronckhorst clearly wants reinforcements out wide in the upcoming window, with his wingers expected to play much wider in his system.
Ryan Kent is one of the only out-and-out wingers in the squad, with the likes of Scott Wright, Ianis Hagi and Fashion Sakala more central players asked to play there and cut in under Steven Gerrard.
Bringing in Amuzu would hand Van Bronckhorst and the Bears more versatility and options to play wingers hugging the touchline every single week rather than trying to cut in at every opportunity.
Described as “wonderful” in the past, Amuzu was actually among the most fouled under-21 players in Europe over the past year – a good sign he loves to run at his man.
We can’t wait to see more and hopefully this one can be done early next month as the January window opens.
