Djeidi Gassama will remain at Rangers beyond the January transfer window as he sets his sights on the Premiership title under the guidance of boss Danny Rohl.
The Rangers Review understands that clubs from across Europe - including Villarreal and Club Brugge - are monitoring Gassama this month. The winger also has interest from Major League Soccer.
But it is understood that the 22-year-old has no intention of departing Ibrox in the coming weeks. His focus is on helping Rohl, who he worked with at Sheffield Wednesday last term, deliver the title in the coming months.

Rangers were able to take advantage of the Owls' financial situation to sign Gassama on a cut-price deal in the summer as he moved to Ibrox for a fee of just over £2million. The forward will command a price tag several times higher than that should clubs look to test Rangers' resolve come the end of the campaign. It is understood that several clubs are tracking his development at present.
Gassama has six goals and three assists from 36 appearances this term and has been an influential member of the squad. He played 89 minutes in the win over Aberdeen on Sunday and won the second half penalty that was converted by James Tavernier as Rohl's side moved back above Celtic in the standings.
Rohl remains in the market for further reinforcements this month following the arrival of Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz at the weekend. Tuur Rommens is also set to finalise his move after a £3million deal was agreed with Westerlo.
The Rangers Review reported on Monday morning that Rohl is tracking Danish internationalist Andreas Skov Olsen. Rangers have made initial enquiries over a deal that could see the winger move on loan for the second half of the season.
Skov Olsen, who Rangers attempted to sign when Giovanni van Bronckhorst was manager in the summer of 2022 and had been tracked during Steven Gerrard's tenure, remains under contract at Wolfsburg until 2029, having joined the club last summer. He moved to the Bundesliga from Club Brugge.
The left-footed right winger is believed to be surveying his options, having struggled for minutes at Wolfsburg and will be allowed to leave on loan this month.
The Rangers Review understands there is interest in securing Skov Olsen's services, with initial conversations held between parties. Rangers are not the only club exploring the possibility of taking the winger on loan and it's understood that Skov Olsen is one of several targets in the right-wing position.
It's understood that the scope of investment a signing like Skov Olsen would provide, and that level of profile, is viewed as a potential difference-maker in bids to bolster Rohl's squad for the remainder of the season.
