Super Eagles and Rangers<\/a>\u2018 new boy Emmanuel Fernandez has been linked with a move to the English Premier League, with Arsenal and West Ham United circling with interest, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old defender joined the Gers last summer, but his development has been impeccable, and he’s now on the radar of several top European clubs, an issue that has been addressed by Rangers boss Danny Rohl.<\/p>\n

Fernandez arrived at Ibrox for 3.5 million euros from Peterborough, and has gone on to score six goals in 28 games for the Record Scottish Champion. His brilliant development also saw him earn a maiden call-up to the Super Eagles team last month.<\/p>\n

Soccer Rangers boss speaks on interest in Emmanuel Fernandez<\/h2>\n

Danny Rohl has done well to turn a poor start into a title charge for Rangers this season after taking over in October. The Gers are currently second on the SPFL table and could seal a Champions League qualification spot if they maintain that position, although Celtic are just two points behind.<\/p>\n

Addressing the interests in Emmanuel Fernandez, the German tactician urged the defender to stay for at least one more season, considering he could play in the biggest stage of European football, for one of the biggest clubs in the world.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking at a lot of videos at the moment, not just games but also players,\u201d the former Sheffield Wednesday coach said in quotes revealed by the Daily Record<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a daily meeting with the board (in Spain). With Jim Gillespie, Dan Purdy and Fraser Thornton we have a good group and it\u2019s clear what we want.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to start preparing a lot of things now because you never know what can happen. It helps to have clear direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of Manny [Fernandez], he knows what he has here. He\u2019s developed very quickly. We should not forget that one year ago he was playing in League One.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow he plays for a big club. And if everything goes well and we get what we want, maybe can play next year in the highest competition (Champions League).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to develop them and give them opportunities here,\u201d the 36-year-old concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
