da realsbet: Brighton are looking to bolster their defence in January with the addition of Rangers captain James Tavernier, The Daily Mail reports.
What’s the word?
Flying high in Europe and showing improvements domestically after inflicting a first league defeat of the season upon Hearts at the weekend, Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have attracted a lot of attention for their fine performances.
That could, therefore, be problematic in the January transfer window as clubs could look to swoop for key players and Rangers skipper James Tavernier is one of those being eyed, with The Daily Mail stating Brighton are keen on a move.
The 26-year-old only signed a new contract at Ibrox last month and is firmly established as a favourite amongst the fans, so the prospect of losing him to the Premier League is a major cause for concern.
What should Rangers do?
Gerrard has been open about his thoughts on interest in his players, telling Sky Sports his squad is for sale at the right price but has insisted departures will not be approved on the cheap – and that should only be the first requirement from the Glasgow side.

Losing Tavernier in January would hand Rangers a tough test in the hunt for a replacement and could derail the club’s push for further European football next season, so Gerrard should insist no key players will be sold in the New Year.
Demanding at least £10m for him may well do the trick to scare potential suitors off, and ensure that he keeps one of his in-form and most influential players at least until the summer.
