Galymzhan Kenzhebek transfer reality emerges after Rangers claim from sources
Rangers are being considered frontrunners to sign Yelimay winger Galymzhan Kenzhebek in the winter transfer window.
Sources in Kazakhstan have claimed that the Gers are leading the race for the 22-year-old amid interest from Dundee United.
It’s been reported that talks to sign Kenzhebek at Ibrox have already started as the Light Blues look to beat Jim Goodwin’s team to his signature.
With Djeidi Gassama and Mikey Moore starting to shine under Danny Rohl, the reality of a potential deal for the Kazakhstan international has been revealed.
Rangers transfer rumours for Galymzhan Kenzhebek dismissed
Kenzhebek isn’t a target for the Gers ahead of January, according to the Daily Record.
The news outlet reports on 20 November that the Light Blues have no intention of signing the forward at Ibrox as things stand.
In the summer, the youngster returned to his homeland with Yelimay and has scored six goals and provided four assists in 11 matches.
While Kenzhebek doesn’t seem to be on the Glaswegian outfit’s radar right now, it remains to be seen whether things will change in the coming years.
Instead of looking to sign more wingers in January, the Light Blues should look to add a new number nine to their ranks after Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski’s struggles.
Kevin Thelwell has mostly focused on getting players from down south, and it would undoubtedly be surprising to see someone like Kenzhebek arrive in G51 soon.
Galymzhan Kenzhebek transfer reality will be a relief for one player at Ibrox
Findlay Curtis has struggled for opportunities under Rohl despite putting in some impressive performances at the start of the season.
Rangers have turned the tide under the German manager, but fans need to see much more improvement before they start to change their stance on the new management.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes played |
| 11 | 3 | 0 | 244 |
While Thelwell has admitted the Gers want to give their youngsters more opportunities, Curtis hasn’t been given much time to prove himself in the current campaign.
With Kenzhebek not part of the Light Blues’ transfer plans, the 19-year-old Scottish youngster will certainly be relieved that he doesn’t have to compete with another winger for a place in the starting lineup.
