Major Fashion Sakala transfer update as Rangers star’s big money Saudi Arabia move is back ON
RANGERS striker Fashion Sakala could be on his way to Saudi Arabia after all.
It was reported last week that the 26-year old had rejected the chance to join Al-Fayha but the move could be back ON.
Talk surrounding Sakala's Ibrox future has intensified in recent days.
The player himself set tongues wagging yesterday when he posted what many fans thought could be a cryptic clue regarding a potential exit from the club.
Sakala posted an image of himself waving to his social media, with supporters speculating that it could be his way of saying goodbye.
And according to the Daily Mail, Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Fayha have 'resurrected' their bid to land the Zambian international.

Sakala was left out of the Rangers squad for the weekend trip to Hoffenheim and he was also nowhere to be seen as the squad took part in an open training session at Ibrox yesterday.
And the report says that a proposed £3million switch to Saudi could be back on with Sakala being allowed to leave the club.
Gers boss Michael Beale wasn't giving much away regarding the forward's future at the weekend.
After the 2-2 draw at Hoffenheim, he said: "There’s nothing on Fashion at the moment.

"There’s a bit of noise around a few of the players and that’s natural because of how many we’ve brought in. As soon as there’s something to say on that we will."
Sakala joined Rangers in 2021 on a free transfer from Belgian side Oostende.
Although he hasn't always been a regular in the side, he's scored 24 goals in 91 appearances across all competitions.
But Rangers have invested heavily in their forward line this season which has opened the door for departures.
The Light Blues have spent big to bring in Danilo, Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers, while Abdallah Sima has also joined on loan from Brighton.
As well as Sakala, Scott Wright is another forward player who'll be allowed to leave.
He flew out to Turkey for talks with Pendikspor a couple of weeks ago after a fee was agreed.
However, Wright has since returned to Glasgow and has been spotted training with the Gers squad once again.
Elsewhere, Connor Goldson has given Rangers a major fitness boost on the eve of the new season.
