Why Rangers' Emmanuel Fernandez transfer concerns will multiply after latest antics
Rangers have a massive decision to make with Emmanuel Fernandez this transfer window.
The Nigeria international was attracting plenty of interest earlier this summer, but the Gers seem adamant about keeping him.
While the Light Blues have shown faith in the 24-year-old centre-back, he has failed to repay it under Derek McInnes.
Fernandez hasn't had the best start to the season at Ibrox, and fans are slowly starting to turn against him.
The Nigerian defender faced similar issues at the start of last season, but managed to bounce back under Danny Rohl.
It's true that the centre-back has shown a lot of potential at the Glaswegian outfit, but he may become a problem for them pretty soon.
Why Rangers are in a tough spot with Emmanuel Fernandez
Bayer Leverkusen continue to be linked with Fernandez, with the Gers wanting £25million for him.
On 21 August, the Daily Record dismissed reports of the Bundesliga outfit making an offer for Fernandez despite suggestions of a £20m bid.
At this point, if any team comes close to the Light Blues' asking price, they shouldn't hesitate to sell him.
It wouldn't be surprising to see someone at the Glaswegian outfit have their head turned after interest from top teams around Europe.
Fernandez's recent social media activity suggests he may already be thinking about his future.
The defender posted a photo with the text "do it for you" on his Instagram story after a shaky display against Jablonec at Ibrox.
What Emmanuel Fernandez sale would mean at Ibrox
McInnes has made some bold calls at Rangers this summer, including asking John Souttar to find a new club.
The Gers have signed Ben Godfrey and Olwethu Makhanya to add depth at centre-back, but that still doesn't feel enough.
In the final weeks of the window, the Light Blues should target further additions in defence.
Selling Fernandez right now would only deepen the crisis at centre-back.
With not much time left before deadline day, the Glaswegian outfit may not be able to find an adequate replacement for the Nigeria international if they cash in on him.
