A lot has been made about weaknesses in sure positions and the truth that Giovanni van Bronckhorst hasn’t considerably improved the beginning XI, nonetheless, the issue seems to be extra mentality based mostly, particularly within the elite of the Champions League.
The Gentle Blues missed out on just a few targets in the summertime switch window, nonetheless, it was a participant they had been linked with again in January that may have improved the group…
Francis Amuzu would have been a wonderful signing
Again in December final yr, Rangers had been linked with Amuzu forward of the January switch window, with Van Bronckhorst eager to bolster his squad.
Sadly, a transfer didn’t materialise because the Dutchman needed to persist for the remainder of the marketing campaign with Scott Wright on the best wing, and with no actual backup to the 25-year-old, many had been performed out of place.
Wright netted seven instances in 37 matches final season, however other than that, his enter was marginal at greatest, receiving a SofaScore ranking of 6.96.
Amuzu scored 9 targets alone within the Jupiler Professional League for Anderlecht final season, chipping in with three assists to show that he might shine on the highest degree.
The 23-year-old, though primarily a midfielder, can function on both wing, and this versatility would have been excellent for Van Bronckhorst final season.
Though born in Ghana, Amuzu represents Belgium at youth degree, successful 14 caps for the U21 aspect, scoring twice.
After 18 matches in all competitions this season, the participant has 5 aim contributions already, 4 greater than Wright, and the choice to not convey him to Ibrox is trying prefer it’s coming again to hang-out the supervisor.
Amuzu was dubbed a “baller” by the NXGN Twitter account, which focuses on up-and-coming expertise all through the world of soccer, and it’s clear that he’ll transfer on from Anderlecht.
It seems to be just like the Ibrox aspect have missed their probability with regards to bringing the 23-year-old to Glasgow, as greater golf equipment will quickly be sniffing across the participant earlier than lengthy.
