Rangers Transfer News: Yfeko’s Exit, Goldson’s Transfer Twist, and Shankland Speculations
The transfer window is heating up for Rangers, with significant movements both in and out of Ibrox. As Rangers aim to balance their squad, several key updates have emerged. Here’s the latest on Rangers’ transfer activities.
Yfeko Moves to Exeter City
Amid discussions of high-profile exits from Rangers, a lesser-known player has quietly made his departure. Johnly Yfeko, a young defender, has joined Gary Caldwell’s Exeter City on a season-long loan with an option to buy. This likely marks the end of Yfeko’s tenure at Rangers. The 21-year-old joined Rangers from Leicester City’s academy in 2022. Despite previous manager Michael Beale’s high hopes, Yfeko’s opportunities dwindled under the current manager, Philippe Clement. Rangers confirmed the move in a brief statement: “Rangers FC can today confirm Johnly Yfeko has joined @OfficialECFC on a season-long loan with an option to buy. Everyone at Rangers wishes Johnly well for the move.”
Connor Goldson’s Transfer Saga
Connor Goldson’s future at Rangers remains uncertain. Initial reports suggested that Goldson had traveled to Cyprus and completed a medical ahead of a move to Aris Limassol. However, recent developments indicate otherwise. Goldson was recently spotted with his Rangers teammates heading to Birmingham for their next friendly match. His involvement in the game suggests that a transfer is not imminent, casting doubt on his departure.
James Tavernier’s Potential Move
James Tavernier, another key defender, is also linked with a potential move away from Rangers. Trabzonspor had an initial offer for Tavernier rejected last week. However, reports suggest they have returned with a higher bid and have already agreed on personal terms with the 32-year-old defender. Tavernier’s future remains a key point of interest in Rangers’ transfer dealings.
Scott Wright Attracting Interest
There have been new developments regarding Scott Wright, with three English clubs reportedly interested in him. Sheffield Wednesday were initially considered the frontrunners, but now Derby County and Preston North End have joined the race for the midfielder. Wright’s future could see a significant shift as the transfer window progresses.
Lawrence Shankland Rumors
In a new twist, Lawrence Shankland is reportedly on Rangers’ radar this summer. While there are differing opinions within the Rangers hierarchy regarding Shankland’s fit within the team, manager Philippe Clement may still make a move for the Hearts star. Despite Shankland being out of contract next year, Hearts would demand a significant fee due to his importance to the team.
