Pundit ‘worried’ for Rangers after source’s Glen Kamara reveal – ‘it’s massive’
Noel Whelan has insisted Rangers fans will be “worried” as club chiefs prepare to sanction two big-name exits.
The former Leeds and Aberdeen striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested the Ibrox club are still yet to come to terms with the exits of Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo in the summer window.
Football Insider revealed on Sunday (25 September) that Rangers are willing to sell Glen Kamara in January with two big-name signings possibly needed in order to raise transfer funds.
It is understood that the Ibrox club are hopeful of getting a £10million-plus fee for the Finland international, who is under contract until 2025.
Meanwhile, Ryan Kent has been widely linked with a move to the Premier League after entering the final 12 months of his contract in Glasgow.
Whelan insisted Kamara and Kent would command “big-money” fees.
When asked if Rangers can afford to lose any more of their spine, he told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “No.
“That would be a massive loss. Kamara and Kent are two pivotal players and players who have been standouts for Rangers.
“They’ve got different attributes but they have a similar stature at the club.
“How do you replace those players? Especially when you consider the players they’ve already lost in the summer [Bassey and Aribo] and how they were replaced.
“They’ll command big, big money because of the quality they have – but how do you follow that up?
“Losing two big names like that – this has got to worry the Rangers fans.”
