According to reports, the gifted winger might sign a contract with the Gers this month.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Kilmarnock 3-1 on Tuesday to take second position in the Scottish Premiership going into the Christmas break.
The Light Blues might close the eight-point deficit to only two if they win their next two games against Celtic, who are their fiercest opponents in the league.
After taking over in October for Michael Beale in the dugout, Philippe Clement is attempting to win a maiden championship as the head coach of the Gers.
The Belgian tactician has already secured a first trophy in Glasgow after beating Aberdeen in the League Cup final, and he will be hoping that 2024 has more pieces of silverware in store for him and his side.
Monday was the first day of the January transfer window and the Gers boss could look to dip into the market to improve his squad ahead of the title run-in and Europa League knockout matches.
Rangers transfer news – Million Manhoef
It was recently reported by The Scottish Sun that the Gers are lining up a swoop to sign Vitesse forward Million Manhoef before the end of the month.
The outlet claimed that the Light Blues are eyeing up a £2.5m bid to bring the impressive attacker to Ibrox to bolster their attacking options.
Fabio Silva has already been snapped up on loan until the end of the campaign from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers and they are seemingly now looking to add to their array of wingers.
The Scottish Sun stated that Rangers are leading the race to land Manhoef’s signature this month, amid interest from English sides Leicester City and Preston North End.
They have been tracking him for the last 12 months and have seemingly decided that now is the right time for them to make their move, with new recruitment chief Nils Koppen backing that call.
Clement could now finally replace Ryan Kent for Rangers by securing a deal to bring the Dutch whiz to Ibrox from Vitesse over the coming weeks.
Interestingly, the Gers were linked with an interest in their former star back in November. TEAMtalk reported that they have an eye on his situation at Fenerbahce.
It was also stated that Leeds United and Bournemouth are both keen on a swoop to bring the talented winger back to the United Kingdom after a disastrous spell in Turkey.
TEAMtalk claimed that the English forward struggled to adapt to life at his new club and that Fenerbahce have made him available to leave in January, with a loan deal that includes an option to buy in the summer for £6m on the cards for any of the interested parties.
However, instead of bringing Kent back for a second spell at Ibrox, just months after he opted to depart from the Gers on a free transfer, Clement should find his own version of the speedster in Manhoef.
Kent’s record at Rangers
The 27-year-old whiz played 218 competitive matches for the Light Blues throughout his time in Scotland, which included an initial year on loan from Liverpool before it became a permanent move.
Kent racked up 33 goals and 56 assists in total for the Scottish giants as he showcased his ability to make a big impact at the top end of the pitch from a wide position.
Arguably, his best season in a Rangers shirt came during the 2020/21 campaign as the club secured the Premiership title under Steven Gerrard’s management.
