Morgan Whittaker and the rising Rangers transfer temperature as wantaway star retains Swansea rage

With Rangers are keen to bring Morgan Whittaker to Ibrox this month with Swansea City playing hardball over the sale of the winger.

But while the player is keen on a deal, the relationship between the 22-year-old and his club appears to be quickly deteriorating - and the signs have been clear to boss Russell Martin that the winger wants a fresh start since he was handed a furious response from the player when he was recalled from his loan at Plymouth Argyle. Record Sport understands that Rangers have already had two offers turned down by the English Championship side but will try to finally negotiate a deal this month.

It would mark the end of a tough spell in Wales for the England U20 cap with the player struggling to get a look-in from Martin after signing with the Swans from Derby in January 2021, making just 22 appearances during his two seasons on the books at the Welsh side. He has enjoyed two loan spells away from the club at Lincoln and Plymouth - and it's the end of his spell at Home Park that appears to have sparked a rocky relationship between player and manager.
