Jefte to be delighted as £3.7m January transfer update emerges at Rangers
Jefte is likely to be delighted by the latest January transfer news that has emerged from Rangers on Thursday.
The Brazilian has had an up-and-down start to life at Ibrox since signing from Fluminese in July, making 16 Scottish Premiership starts so far.
With the winter window now well underway, there is every chance that the 21-year-old could question his future in Govan but this may not be the case after the latest transfer development.

The former APOEL Nicosia defender could potentially benefit from more regular game time at Ibrox which may be on its way in G51.
This comes as Ridvan Yilmaz has been linked with a return to Besiktas who value the Gers’ defender at £3.7million [Günebakış].
Given that the 23-year-old is a Turkyie international and made over 60 appearances for the Super Lig side, a return to his homeland could make sense for all parties.
If that deal were to go through before the end of the winter window, there is potential that Jefte would have to step up and become a more regular starter.
This could be the opportunity that the Brazilian has been waiting for and could allow him to fulfil his potential for the Light Blues.
Jefte is likely to be delighted by this news and that could be a boost that he needs to become a key player under Philippe Clement moving into the second half of the season.
