Rangers to ignore recency bias amid Youssef Chermiti exit news

Rangers could part ways with striker Youssef Chermiti this summer, despite the forward having finished as their top scorer last season.

Danny Rohl's future was initially uncertain after the conclusion of the last campaign, but with the German confirmed to be in charge for the next season, recruitment plans will get the go-ahead.

The Gers are in need of depth and fresh quality across several areas of the squad, with reinforcing their attacking options likely to be one of the main priorities.

Chermiti was the only reliable source of goals in the Scottish Premiership last time out.

And yet he could find himself heading for the exit in a matter of months with several clubs keeping tabs on him.

Could Rangers sell Youssef Chermiti?

This is often a debate that comes up with several players ahead of a transfer window, and the truth is that everyone has a price.

PSV, Porto and Galatasary are said to be monitoring Chermiti, as per Rudy Galetti, all of whom would likely have the ability to pay a fairly substantial fee.

Given the numbers he produced last season, many would have the former Everton man as one of the indispensable members of the squad, but that simply isn't the case.

Chermiti was far from perfect for the most part of the campaign, and the Gers cannot afford to let his purple patch get in the way of what could be a healthy sale this summer.

Rangers priority clear regardless of Chermiti future

If Rangers are to win silverware, they need goals from several areas of the squad, which is something they lacked last season

Chermiti was the only player who managed more than eight goals, while Bojan Miovski was the second-top scoring forward with just seven goals.

Regardless of whether Chermiti stays or goes, the Light Blues need more attacking quality, and more players capable of chipping in with goals throughout the season.

Lawrence Shankland may well be able to aid those efforts given the campaign he had with Hearts, but the Gers will still need at least one more quality attacking player to help spread the goals.
