It has the feel of a transfer pursuit that could go to the very end of the window. But Morgan Whittaker won’t be left behind if Rangers get their man. That is according to one man who has watched the 22-year-old Swansea winger closely this season.
Whittaker netted nine times for Plymouth Argyle, where he was on loan, to help fire the Pilgrims to the top of League One where they have managed to keep big guns Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County and Ipswich Town at arm’s length. It was a huge blow when the winger was recalled by his Welsh parent club as they decide his next move in the final year of his deal.
Michael Beale is keen to land the player and, despite Swansea boss Russell Martin claiming otherwise on the eve of the game, he was left out of the squad for last week’s game against QPR where an appearance would have ruled out a January move to Ibrox. With less than week to go in the transfer window, it remains to be seen if Gers will get their man. But what will they be getting if the former Derby County man pitches up at Ibrox?
