Francis Amuzu has been linked with a move to Rangers for a long time but Michael Beale should keep his chequebook in his pocket.
The 23-year old is an exciting prospect, creates a lot of chances for teammates and has the one quality that can cause even the best of defenders problems – pace.
A report claiming that the Belgium Under-21 international will be allowed to leave Anderlecht in the summer will have teams on red alert, however, Rangers shouldn’t be one of them despite having an eye on Francis Amuzu since 2019.
Why Rangers don’t need Francis Amuzu
In Fashion Sakala and the rehabilitated Rabbi Matondo we already have two players who arrived at Ibrox having made a significantly bigger impact in the Juniper Pro-League.
They also do their best work coming off the left-hand side of the attack, similar to Amuzu.
For a reported £8m, Rangers could rebuild the whole attack and add depth in midfield if the money is spent wisely.
Todd Cantwell was once valued at £50m having signed for £1.5m in January and look at the impact he has made since joining.
I don’t think Rangers fans could cope if we signed another winger who couldn’t consistently score goals after having to endure Ryan Kent over the last couple of seasons.
Double figures every season should be the norm, not the exception.
Replacing contract rebels Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos isn’t going to be easy given what they are capable of at their best but there are bargains out there.
Francis Amuzu, for over £8m, just isn’t one of them and we should move on to the next name on the list.
