Russell Martin breaks silence on Jayden Meghoma transfer and Jefte's big money Rangers exit
The Light Blues are set to make a tidy profit on Jefte's switch to Palmerias and they've already got a replacement sorted Russell Martin hopes Rangers will finalise a loan swoop for 'top talent' Jayden Meghoma after admitting Jefte is close to a big money move out now Ibrox. Brentford teen Meghoma is expected to complete a move to Govan to help solve the problem left back area with Jefte set to join Palmeiras in a £6m deal. Martin, who watched his side huff and puff to a 4-2 Premier Sports Cup win over Alloa, handed the England U-19 international his first team debut at Southampton before he moved to Brentford for £5m last summer. Meghoma made four appearances for Brentford before moving on loan to Preston in January. Now he looks set for Ibrox. And Martin said: "Jefte was in yesterday (Friday), and then by yesterday evening, he's maybe not going to be here moving forward because it's a good deal for him and the club. 'So we'll see what happens over the next couple of days with that. We have to be ready to replace him, and we always have been ready. 'So Jayden, a player we know from Southampton, spent a year with us as a young boy, training every day, understands the work, top talent, plays for England at all the youth levels. 'Brentford signed him for a lot of money for a teenager, and he went on loan last year in the Championship did really well. 'So he's a player we know and like, and hopefully at some point he'll be a Rangers player and you'll know that when he is.' Gers were made to sweat by the part-timers before finally sealing a 4-2 win and progression into the Premier Sports Cup quarter final with Findlay Curtis' 90th minute strike Martin sent out an experimental side ahead of Tuesday's Champions League blockbuster against Club Brugge with Mikey Moore handed a debut. But they were made to wait to the 90th minute to secure the win as goals from Nedim Bajrami, Manny Fernandez, James Tavernier's penalty and Findlay Curtis' late strike barely camouflaged another afternoon where Martin's men toiled. Martin handed a competitive debut off the bench to Thelo Aasgaard while Hamza Igamane also returned from injury as a second half sub and impressed. Martin said Tuesday would be too soon to start either. On Igamane, Martin added: 'I really liked Hamza's energy when he came on. He can do things that other players can't. 'Sometimes he looks a bit mad - like when he tries to nutmeg the boy. 'So if we can get him to make decisions a bit more consistently, I think he'll really help us. 'He wants to express himself, he wants to play. There's never a problem making a mistake as long as the reaction is really, really good. 'And that's the one thing I'd say today. After a couple of wobbly moments, the guys really reacted well.'

‘Hopefully he'll be a Rangers player' – Russell Martin confirms interest in EPL left-back as he eyes Jefte replacement

The Ibrox boss was unhappy with the goals conceded in the 4-2 Premier Sports Cup win over League One Alloa. 3 Jayden Meghoma is a Rangers target Credit: Alamy 3 He's a player Russell Martin knows well Credit: Alamy And Martin has targeted 19-year-old left-back Meghoma to replace Brazilian Jefte as he gets set for a move home to Palmeiras. He said: 'Jefte is maybe not going to be here moving forward because it's a good deal for him and the club. 'So we'll see what happens over the next couple of days with that.

'So my feeling is we get through, we score four goals, we should score more goals for sure.' Mikey Moore made his debut along with Thelo Aasgaard off the bench. Hamza Igamane also returned from injury - but Martin insists the striker is NOT ready to start against Brugge on Tuesday's Champions League play-off first-leg. He added: 'I think we have to look at his physical condition. He's literally just come back and played half an hour. 'It's a very different game so I'm not sure how long we would get from him from the start. "I really liked Hamza's energy when he came on. He can do things that other players can't. 'Sometimes he looks a bit mad. 3 Hamza Igamane came off the bench against Alloa Credit: Willie Vass 'So if we can get him to make decisions a bit more consistently, I think he'll really help us. 'I'm talking about when he tries to nutmeg the boy. 'But then his reaction to losing the ball was fantastic, so I don't mind it. 'Honestly, he wants to express himself, he wants to play. There's never a problem making a mistake as long as the reaction is really, really good.' Alloa boss Andy Graham added: 'My overriding emotion is pride. 'We dug in at times but we also played and passed the ball under pressure. 'I'm really pleased from that perspective. You're always going to think 'what if' when you get it to 3-2 with a couple of minutes to go. 'But I'm not sitting here saying we deserved to win the game.'

Martin addresses Meghoma deal after Rangers' Alloa win
It has been reported that the club are keen on the left-back. Martin was asked about the possible loan deal after Rangers' 4-2 win over Alloa Athletic in the Premier Sports Cup. He said he's 'hopeful Jayden Meghoma will be a Rangers player in the near future'. Discussing the team's performance in the match, Martin told Premier Sports: "We started the game with real intent and then scored. Read more: "We can't then sustain the intensity all the time. "I saw a few too many moments in the first half that they shouldn't get. "But there was lots of good stuff. "There will be a lot of players that will be better for this. "It's Manny's [Emmanuel Fernandez] first game, Mikey's [Moore] first game, and the guys around haven't played pretty much. "There's a lot to be really excited about. "And it's my job to always want more from the players and us as a group. "So we'll look at it, and we'll learn from it. "I'm pleased with where we're going, but we have to keep working always."
