Olwethu Makhanya tipped for Rangers transfer exit as insider says 'no level is too high' for South Africa star

Rangers defender Makhanya, who joined for £3m in summer, is being tipped for a bigger move, though his agent has denied January exit plans.

Olwethu Makhanya has impressed since his £3 million summer move to Rangers, earning Premiership Player of the Month for September and forming a strong defensive partnership. His former Philadelphia Union manager Bradley Carnell believes the 22-year-old South Africa international has the physical tools and skill set to play at any level. However, Rangers icon Richard Gough has been assured by Makhanya's agent that the player will not leave in January, despite speculation about a bigger move.
