Rangers could sell Sakala by signing Bongonda

Glasgow Rangers have loved a busy summer time switch window of enterprise coming out and in of Ibrox over the previous few months.

Ross Wilson has introduced in a bunch of recent recruits and sanctioned the gross sales of Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey to fund their very own offers.

One participant who the membership should now look to maneuver on earlier than the deadline subsequent month is outcast Trend Sakala, as he has discovered himself out of favour.

The winger has not played a single aggressive minute this season as he has been pressured to look at the likes of Antonio Colak, Tom Lawrence, Malik Tillman and Rabbi Matondo – who all joined the membership this summer time – play forward of him.

Journalist Josh Bunting as soon as dubbed him “very raw” and “erratic” and his unrefined high quality will be the motive behind van Bronckhorst’s choice to maneuver him down the pecking order.

Ought to Sakala be bought?

While he scored nine targets within the Premiership, his performances within the Europa League have been regarding as his lack of conviction within the ultimate third let him down. In 11 outings within the competitors, Sakala failed to attain or help a single aim for the Mild Blues as he missed two ‘massive possibilities’ and solely offered two key passes.

This exhibits that his uncooked and erratic fashion didn’t enable him to make the step as much as taking part in in Europe, which can have induced alarm bells to ring within the supervisor’s head with Champions League soccer on supply for the membership this season.

It has been reported that the dynamo is about to remain at Ibrox after Burnley pulled out of a deal to signal him however van Bronckhorst may change his thoughts and sanction a sale if the membership are ready to usher in a substitute.

Genk winger Theo Bongonda may very well be that participant to return in and permit Rangers to money in on Sakala as he has been linked with a £6m (€7m) change to Glasgow this summer time and has caught the attention in Belgium.

Within the final two Professional League campaigns, the winger has racked up a chic 28 targets and ten assists in 57 begins as he has confirmed that he has the standard to be a match-winner. He can rating or help targets frequently and that signifies that he has the potential to win video games for the Mild Blues.

Though, the Genk man doesn’t boast a wealth of expertise in Europe – with three assists and seven key passes in nine begins throughout the Champions League and Europa League.

It could be a small pattern measurement however it’s spectacular compared to Sakala’s statistics and that, alongside together with his phenomenal kind in Belgium, means that he may very well be a superb substitute for the attacker and that’s the reason they need to swoop for him.

He may add extra high quality in Europe, creatively, than the Zambia worldwide and he may have a higher affect within the Premiership if he can translate his kind within the Professional League over to Scotland.
