Rangers' chances of keeping Olwethu Makhanya revealed after Premier League duo's transfer mission

Brentford and Sunderland scouted the 22-year-old centre-back, but Rangers hold him on a long-term deal until 2030 and face no pressure to sell.

Rangers centre-back Olwethu Makhanya is attracting interest from Premier League clubs Brentford and Sunderland, who both sent scouts to watch the South African international in Rangers' 3-1 win over Kilmarnock last weekend. Clubs in Italy and Spain are also monitoring the 22-year-old. However, Rangers remain in a strong negotiating position, having tied Makhanya down to a contract until 2030 after signing him from Philadelphia Union in the summer. The club faces no pressure to sell and is confident of keeping him long-term.
