Ben Jacobs of Give Me Sport, is the journalist who has explained where the form’ side sit in terms of foreign players with Tavernier said to be on his wish list:
Ettifaq happy with their foreign signings and focused on the Saudi market.
“This won’t change providing Demarai Gray stays.
“Along with Fofana, understand Ettifaq want to sign a starting left-back and striker, and a squad-player in defensive midfield.
Even positionally, it would appear as if Tavernier won’t be reunited with his former manager anytime soon.
A situation that clarified recently too when asked what the situation with and his future at Rangers was:
“I don’t see a situation. I told you guys, Todd (Cantwell) is the only one who came to my office and said he wanted to leave – that’s it.
“I don’t know, there is maybe interest in a lot of players, I don’t know. He is a player for Rangers and is playing for Rangers. As long as players don’t say they want to leave, [they are] Rangers players.
“I think for every player who was here or in training, who is not saying they want to leave. So we will see.”
Tavernier struggled in his first few appearances for Rangers after having an injury affected pre-season.
Against Dynamo Kyiv, he looked greatly improved and was even seen linking with his opposite full-back Ridvan Yilmaz as an auxillary midfielder – exactly the sort of overload we saw early in Clement’s tenure.
