Three Jefte replacements Russell Martin could sign at Rangers including Champions League ace
Jefte looks set to leave Rangers over the coming days after a little over a year in Glasgow.
Despite the full-back previously being a crucial player for the Gers, a departure appears imminent.
Reports indicate that Jefte has reached an agreement to join Palmeiras on a five-year contract.
Therefore, it is vital that Russell Martin brings in another left-back to Ibrox to cover for this loss.
As a result, Ibrox News has highlighted three players the Gers could target to replace the Brazilian.
Nobel Mendy
Nobel Mendy has been heavily linked to Rangers over the past few days.
The Real Betis defender has caught the eye while playing for the B team, and could now make the switch up to Scotland.
Reports indicate that Mendy underwent a medical to move to Rangers on Wednesday in Barcelona.
- The Gers will reportedly pay £2.5million with a 20 per cent clause on any profit from a future sale for Mendy
- The full-back made two appearances in La Liga last season for Betis
- He also has two UEFA Europa Conference League appearances to his name
However, little has been reported since as the Ibrox faithful eagerly await an announcement.
Nevertheless, the transfer for the Senegal star could now speed up, given the Jefte news.
Kassoum Ouattara
Another left-back that has been linked to Rangers is Kassoum Ouattara.
The Monaco defender is believed to have plenty of promise and made 16 appearances for the Ligue 1 side last season.
Both Celtic and Rangers were believed to be fighting for Outtara’s signature ahead of a potential move to Scotland.
Monaco want a permanent deal if they are to part with Ouattara, and it remains to be seen if Martin is willing to give in to these demands.
Cody Drameh
In the Championship, Cody Drameh has impressed at Hull City.
The full-back, who can play on both flanks, made 28 appearances for the Tigers in the Championship last season.
Rangers were linked to Drameh in June and were considering making a move.
However, while rumours surrounding the two parties have since gone quiet, given the Jefte news, Martin may consider making a move.
