As two key Rangers stars prepare for a spell on the sidelines, it further reinforces that the Ibrox club cannot sell on of their most in-demand players this January.
With Ryan Jack still working his way back from a substantial lay-off and Scott Arfield awaiting the results of a scan, Finnish international Glen Kamara’s role in the side has never been more important.
A key figure in big matches, 24-year-old Kamara has always been a big-game player for the club but there’s a consistency to his game which we’ve never seen before this season.
The ex-Arsenal academy graduate has been catching the eye with his performances in Royal Blue and up to 13 clubs were linked to the midfielder earlier in the year [TEAMtalk].
Premier League sides like Leeds United, Brighton, Newcastle, Southampton and Burnley are amongst those mentioned.
Benfica, Borussia Dortmund and Lille have also been mentioned alongside the midfielder, who has just over two years remaining on his current deal.
It’s led Ibrox gaffer Steven Gerrard to insist the midfielder is tied down on a longer-term deal and rewarded with better terms but as of yet Rangers haven’t gone public with any news.
Any suggestion that Kamara could leave in January must now also be completely quashed by injury to Jack and Arfield as the club are stretched thin in the middle of the park.
With uncertainty abound over the medium-term fitness of both Arfield and Jack, should Rangers be looking to enter the market rather than sell?
