Rangers-linked Noah Sadiki has been consigned to the Anderlecht bench as the teenager’s contract continues to tick down at the Pro League club.
The 18-year-old right-back was once again an unused substitute as KV Oostende, following on from his failure to get off the bench the week before against Royal Antwerp.
Noah Sadiki has found chances at a premium in Belgium in recent months, with the Rangers-linked kid making only one start for Anderlecht since mid-September.
Routinely used in late flashes from the bench, in total Noah Sadiki has made 17 appearances for the club’s top team this season, but only four have been from the start.
It might have plenty at Rangers casting glances over towards Belgium with the nation a happy hunting ground for the Ibrox side in recent seasons.
Could Noah Sadiki be Rangers’ latest Belgian recruit?
Rangers have spent over £10m taking the likes of Ianis Hagi, Kemar Roofe, Fashion Sakala, Rabbi Matondo and now Nicolas Raskin from the division in recent campaigns.
With the club also looking at genuine competition at right-back and James Tavernier not getting any younger, perhaps Noah Sadiki could be the one to fill the influential Ibrox captain’s boots.
Or at least challenge Adam Devine for that spot.
Rangers were linked with Noah Sadiki back in January, with reports at the time claiming that the Ibrox side could face competition from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven and Ligue 1 Lille.
Having signed a professional contract with Anderlecht last season, Noah Sadiki does have the option of another year but the particular details of this are a little foggy [Anderlecht].
Should the young Belgian youth international become available the kid certainly appears an interesting option and let’s see how things progress with Rangers in the months to come.
Meanwhile, Rangers reportedly face a late Alfredo Morelos dilemma.
