Emmanuel Fernandez has seen his stock rise since his move to Rangers last summer from Peterborough United.
The Nigeria international was among the standout players for the Ibrox outfit last season, and he even won the Player of the Year Award.
While Fernandez has been linked with a Rangers exit, he is expected to stay put at the club this summer.
Peterborough’s Director of Football has made a bold claim…👀
How much can Rangers demand for Fernandez? 🤑
Kevin Thomson expects big-money Emmanuel Fernandez sale in the future
Kevin Thomson, a club employee and former player, regularly offers co-commentary and punditry duties for Rangers TV.
He was the co-comms for the 2-1 victory over St Etienne at Ibrox on Wednesday, and named Fernandez the Man of the Match for that one.
Thomson went against the grain as Cammy Devlin had been named Man of the Match at Ibrox.
How will John Souttar be remembered at Ibrox?
He seems to have played his last game for Rangers…
What impressed him about the centre-back was his passing ability, but he then went on to say something interesting.
He stated that he hopes that the club can make big money from his sale some time in the future.
The Light Blues paid £3.5m to sign him, but his valuation has risen significantly over the last 12 months.
Speaking on Rangers TV, Thomson said: “My Man of the Match today will be Fernandez.
“He looked very good with some of the passes he made.
“I hope one day in the future he can make the club a lot of money.”
Who will be Fernandez’s centre-back partner at Rangers next season?
Rangers signed Ben Godfrey this summer, but there are plans to bring in another centre-back over the coming weeks.
It remains to be seen if they manage to get someone through the door before the first game of the season, but it is very likely that they will before the window closes.
Godfrey has shown signs of rustiness in pre-season, but that could be him getting up to speed with Derek McInnes’ demands.
As things stand, he is the best option to partner Fernandez, as John Souttar appears to have played his last game for the club.
Hopefully, the Light Blues can bring in another competent centre-back who offers serious competition to Godfrey.
