Andrew Cavenagh must pull trigger as Rangers set for multi-million Emmanuel Fernandez windfall
Rangers are bearing the fruit of signing Emmanuel Fernandez from Peterborough United last summer.
The centre-back has become a key player for the Gers after a slow start to the season, providing them with a much-needed attacking goal threat from set-pieces.
Arsenal and Chelsea are now being linked with a move for Fernandez, and the defender could potentially be in for bigger and better things soon.
With interest in the 24-year-old from the Premier League, the Glaswegian outfit will undoubtedly be confident about making a hefty profit on the player they signed for £3.5million.
Rangers should push for Luke Graham transfer to replace Emmanuel Fernandez
Rangers are interested in Dundee defender Luke Graham ahead of the summer transfer window, with Dan Purdy personally scouring him.
The Scotland Under-21 international has impressed in the William Hill Premiership this season, and it isn’t surprising to see him being eyed by the Ibrox hierarchy.
With Celtic and other teams in the race for the 22-year-old’s signature, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises should pull the trigger immediately to sign him.
Fernandez could potentially be sold for an eight-figure sum in the summer, considering the calibre of teams that want him, and Danny Rohl will then need a replacement for him.
Graham seems like the perfect player to bolster the Gers’ defence at the end of the season, and the Govan side must get a deal over the line.
The young centre-back’s Sofascore graphic above highlights his exceptional campaign at Dundee, and it’s evident the Scottish ace has the qualities to succeed in G51.
Andrew Cavenagh can’t repeat Ibrox mistake with Emmanuel Fernandez
Fans have been frustrated with the Gers’ player trading model over the years and will hope Cavenagh and the 49ers can fix it.
Rangers possibly had a chance to make money on the sales of Djeidi Gassama and Youssef Chermiti in the winter transfer window, but decided against it.
The American owners shouldn’t make the same mistake with Fernandez in the summer if they receive a suitable offer for him.
Under Rohl, the Glaswegian outfit have finally found stability on the field, and the Ibrox hierarchy must ensure they’re doing the right thing off it.
