Tashreeq Matthews: Rangers linked to South African ex-Borussia Dortmund winger

The latest player to be linked to a transfer to Rangers is Tashreeq Matthews, but there may be competition for the South African winger’s signing at the Ibrox.

Reports are stating that Rangers and AZ Alkmaar are interested in a deal for the 23-year-old, who presently turns out with Swedish Allsvenkan side IK Sirius.

The South African youth international is undoubtedly a name that will draw attention to Ibrox, as he boasted a remarkable return of 11 goals and 10 assists from the wing last season.
A winger from South Africa made an impression on Borussia Dortmund.

The attacker began his career at Ajax Cape Town and was a member of the Borussia Dortmund junior team when he was younger.

During his tenure with the German powerhouses, Matthews went on loan to play for Utrecht in the Netherlands and Helsingborgs in Sweden. In 2020, he joined Varbergs in Sweden.

Tashreeq Matthews, who joined IK Sirius two years later, has made an impression during his time there, and Rangers supporters will be keeping a close eye on him as Philippe Clement attempts to bolster his team.

Since the club’s recruitment department hasn’t revealed anything to the Ibrox side this January, it seems that this is a connection that has leaked from the other side.
