Chris Jack dropped an intriguing transfer update live on air regarding Djeidi Gassama, confirming that the Mauritania winger is attracting genuine interest from elsewhere this summer.
Writing on the Rangers Review live blog ahead of Rangers’ high-profile friendly clash against West Ham at Ibrox on Sunday, Jack addressed the future of the 22-year-old attacker as recruitment chiefs evaluate their options in the wide areas.
How much can Rangers expect from Djeidi Gassama’s sale? 🤔
He had an underwhelming season at Ibrox…
“One to keep an eye on” – Chris Jack on Djeidi Gassama
Providing an update directly to supporters tuning in before kick-off, Jack outlined where things stand behind the scenes with the wide man.
He wrote: “We understand that there is a bit of interest in him this summer but nothing has materialised as yet.
“He is keen to stay at Ibrox. That is one to keep an eye on as Rangers look to do some business in the wide areas.”
While formal proposals have not yet landed on the desk of the Ibrox decision-makers, Gassama’s raw pace, directness, and versatility have continued to earn key glances from scouting departments across the UK and Europe.
Gassama starts against West Ham amid squad restructure
Significantly, despite the quiet background noise regarding potential external suitors, Gassama’s current focus remains firmly locked on pre-season duties.
The former Paris Saint-Germain prospect was selected in the starting line-up by Derek McInnes for the 4:00 PM kick-off against West Ham.
His inclusion in the starting XI highlights that he remains in the first-team picture in Glasgow, and only a concrete bid might change things.

Gassama appears to be content with life at the club and is eager to build on his development in Scottish football since joining the Gers from Sheffield Wednesday last year.
However, the modern transfer market moves rapidly. With Rangers actively exploring potential additions on the flanks before the window closes, any formal, lucrative bid from an interested party could test the club’s resolve and alter the landscape late in the summer.
Gassama starting against West Ham sends a clear signal that he is trusted on the pitch, and his desire to stay offers stability for McInnes and Co.
Nevertheless, as Rangers continue to navigate a squad overhaul, any concrete approach in the coming weeks could turn a quiet monitoring situation into a major deadline-day story.
As Jack noted, his situation is undeniably one for supporters to watch carefully.
