Rangers transfer news: Million Manhoef update emerges as Ridvan Yilmaz nears exit
Vitesse Arnhem left-back Million Manhoef has emerged as a possible replacement for Rangers for Ridvan Yilmaz, according to the Scottish Sun.
The news outlet reported on 12 January that Manhoef has been scouted for the last 12 months by Gers who could make a move to sign him.
In another article on 29 December, Scottish Sun reported that Rangers were preparing a 2.5million bid for the 22-year-old Dutch full-back.
Good move?
Manhoef presents a promising signing for Rangers due to his versatility and skills that align with Philippe Clement’s tactical vision.
Valued at £2.5 million, the 22-year-old has garnered attention from English Championship leaders Leicester and Preston, underscoring his appeal in the transfer market.
Known for his adaptability, Manhoef primarily operates on the right flank but is equally effective on the left and has even filled in as a left-back when needed.
This flexibility aligns with Rangers’ need for depth, especially in the left-back position, where they have faced challenges.
With Yilmaz leaving and Borna Barisic in the last six months of his contract, decisions need to be taken quickly about the plan of action.
Given his age, potential, and adaptability, Manhoef could bring valuable depth and dynamism to the Rangers’ squad and seems to be the best option at this point.
