# Rangers: Gers eyeing Benedito Mambuene Mukendi move

**[Glasgow Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) and manager Michael Beale are looking to bring Benedito Mambuene Mukendi to Ibrox in January.**

### The Lowdown: Player profile

Mambuene Mukendi, nicknamed ‘Beni’, is 20 years of age and can [play](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/beni/profil/spieler/666539) as a central, defensive or attacking midfielder. The Angolan plies his trade with Portuguese second-tier side Trofense and is out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/beni/profil/spieler/666539) at the end of the season.

He’s made [40](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/beni/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/666539) senior appearances for his current employers, [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/beni/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/666539) of which have come during the 2022/23 season, and is valued at €200,000 by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/beni/profil/spieler/666539).

### The Latest: Journalist’s update

[The Scottish Sun’s Jordan Davies](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9928445/rangers-benedito-mambuene-mukendi-january-transfer/) shared a story on Thursday evening regarding Rangers and Beni.

### The Verdict: One to watch

It seems as if Rangers have done their homework on Beni, so a move for the versatile midfielder could be a wise one in the long run.

You could say it is fairly low risk at £500,000, and Beale could help take the player to the next level and increase his valuation dramatically, something the club have done in the past with a low-price move for Glen Kamara.

Beni would provide an option in a number of midfield areas, something that could come in handy during the second half of the season, so this could be one to watch closely over the coming weeks.
