A famous European club is showing interest in a top Bafana Bafana striker currently playing for Mamelodi Sundowns, the Siya crew has been informed.
Siya sources close to Chloorkop have indicated that Scottish giants, Rangers FC, have been keeping a close eye on Iqraam Rayners, who has been turning heads with his performances for club and country.

The sources added that Rangers' interest in Rayners dates back to his time at Stellenbosch FC last season. However, this interest has now intensified since his move to the Brazilians, where his impressive form has not gone unnoticed.
"There has been an inquiry about Iqraam (Rayners) from Rangers of Scotland. I don't think there has been an offer from them at this stage. What I know is they have shown interest and they continue monitoring him," the Siya source stated.
Furthermore, a second source further discussed how Rangers' interest isn't new.
"It's not for the first time. I know that there was interest in him from the same club before he joined Sundowns but I believe they were a bit slow and that's why he ended up signing for Sundowns but now they are back on for his services. They are monitoring him again," the second source stated.

During his time at Stellenbosch FC, Rayners made a significant impact, coming close to the league's top goalscorer Tshegofatso Mabasa.
This season with Sundowns, he has continued to impress, and should be one of the strong favourites to outscore strikers in South Africa.
The renewed interest from a prominent European club in Rayners signifies his rising profile and potential for playing abroad in the near future.
As the season progresses, keen observers will watch closely to see if the developing interest transforms into a concrete transfer offer.
