Rangers are ‘plotting a January move’ for Bristol City’s Antoine Semenyo, claims Football Insider.
Semenyo, 22, is currently away at the World Cup with Ghana.
The Bristol City man enjoyed a strong season in the Championship last time round where he recorded 20 goal contributions, and he has five so far this season (three goals and two assists).
And ahead of January, Rangers have been mentioned alongside him.
Crystal Palace and Bournemouth were a couple of the teams mentioned last summer but now Rangers seem interested, and Football Insider say that the Gers are plotting a January move for the Bristol City man.
His contract is out next summer but Nigel Pearson’s side have the option to extend his stay by a further year.
Bristol City currently sit in 18th place of the Championship table after a tough season so far, with the Robins just one point above the drop zone as things stand.
Semenyo off in January?
A January sale would definitely make sense from a Bristol City point of view. They’ll no doubt trigger his one year extension but come next summer when he has that extra year added to his contract, there’ll be a lot of pressure for the Robins to sell.
They won’t want to risk losing the player for free and at the same time, they’ll want to make as much money from the sale as possible.
So a sale this winter seems like the best chance for the Robins to sell and make a decent bit of money on the player, but it all depends on whether clubs come in – as for Rangers, they’re looking for a new manager right now and whoever comes in might have different transfer priorities in January.
