Moussa Djenepo while at Southampton<\/p>\nIt could lead to a strange scenario when both clubs share the same ownersMoussa Djenepo while at Southampton<\/p>\n
Rangers have reportedly \u201capproached\u201d former Southampton winger Moussa Djenepo about a return to Britain – with Leeds United<\/a> also said to be keen on the Mali star.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old moved to England\u2019s south coast in a \u00a314million deal six years ago when former Rangers <\/a>sporting director Ross Wilson <\/a>was at St Mary\u2019s.<\/p>\n He signed from Standard Liege and returned to Belgium two years ago for around \u00a33m.<\/p>\n Capped 36 times for Mali, he has been loaned out to Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor but has suffered a chaotic time with months of unpaid wages and is said to want out.<\/p>\n Now Leeds United are reportedly to be keen on taking him back to England following promotion back to the English Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n Djenepo\u2019s release clause is just \u00a31.7m but Africafoot<\/a> say both Rangers and Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv have \u201capproached\u201d the player.<\/p>\n Rangers, of course, are in the process of being taken over by 49ers Enterprises – the same owners as Leeds United.<\/p>\n That could throw up the unusual scenario of both being in the hunt for the same player.<\/p>\n He is left-sided and can play either as a winger or a full back, an area Rangers are almost certain to try and strengthen with Jefte<\/a> failing to hit the heights in his first season at Ibrox and Ridvan Yilmaz also suffering with injuries.<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport <\/strong>on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> and Celtic<\/a> pages, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to you phone.
