Rangers must continue their exciting long-term rebuild under Michael Beale and secure the services of Swansea winger Morgan Whittaker, he could be an ideal replacement for exit-bound Ryan Kent.
The 22-year-old forward has long been a top target for the Gers this month, with Swansea City driving a hard bargain and demanding more than the reported £1.5m that was rejected this week [Fabrizio Romano, 25 January].
Beale is looking to rebuild his squad this month with some young and exciting talent and has already secured his first summer signing by recruiting Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell [Sky Sports, 23 January].

And the Gers is certainly not stopping there with the club reportedly in the hunt to sign young Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin [The Herald, 26 January], who at 21, fits the profile of player that Beale is known to work well with.
And that is certainly the case for Whittaker.
Journalist Dean Jones [GiveMeSport, 24 January] thinks the Light Blues are going to “push” again to sign Swansea attacker after falling short of the Welsh side’s £2m [The Sun, 16 January] valuation with their previous offer to sign the wing-wizard.
And if the Gers are serious about their exciting squad rebuild under Beale, then they should simply push ahead and meet the Swans’ valuation and sign the talented forward before it’s too late as he could well form a vital part of Beale’s squad for the near future.
The 22-year-old spent the first half of the 2022/23 campaign out on loan with the League One side Plymouth Argyle and recorded some stunning goal returns, registering nine goals and seven assists from 25 games highlighting that the youngster will indeed deliver if provided with the confidence and opportunity.
It is no surprise the Welsh side took up their option to recall the young forward following what was a sensational return down on the south coast. It does seem like they are willing to sell at the right price.
And with star man Kent’s future unclear at the club as his contract is up in the summer, with Premier League outfit Leicester City reportedly interested in signing him [90Min, 26 January], it’s incredibly important the Gers take initiative in the transfer market and address that uncertainty.

Beale is indeed forming a brilliant squad so far, with Fashion Sakala, and Malik Tilman all impressing under his stewardship alongside Kent.
The former Queens Park Rangers coach has worked wonders with youthful talents throughout his career and given his consistent returns already this season, Whittaker is surely one that would fit Beale’s progressive style as well as excite the whole crowd at Ibrox.
If the Gers want to keep up with their Old Firm rivals Celtic this season and more crucially topple them in the coming seasons, then swiftly recruiting the likes of Whittaker and Raskin would be a huge statement of intent of the club’s future.
In other Rangers news, a club in Europe holds the option to re-sign a player from Ibrox whenever they like.
