Calvin Bassey signed for Ajax for \u00a319.6m in 2022, Joe Aribo for Southampton for \u00a36m and Nathan Paterson for Everton for \u00a311.5m, while Hamza Igamane was sold to Lille for \u00a310.4m this year.<\/p>\n<p>It would be bold to confidently predict that any of the seven permanent summer signings will be sold for profit, as apart from Cortez and Cameron, they have not received the green light from Coach Thelwell.<\/p>\n<p>According to Transfermarkt, Jaydee Gassama is currently the most likely option as he signed for \u00a32.2 million from Sheffield Wednesday and has six goals and two assists in all competitions. No other summer signing has scored more than once.<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel Fernandez could be ranked second despite playing only four games, as other players don&#8217;t offer as much of an offensive threat. Signed for \u00a33.5 million, he has scored two goals in four league games and won 88 per cent of his aerial duels in two league games, according to Sofascore.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Rangers&#8217;

for Rangers to profit from him if they decide to cash in.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, it was reported that Leeds and Tottenham are two of a number of clubs in the Premier League and Europe eyeing a potential move for Ruskin, but that the Ger side want a &#8220;big fee&#8221; for their star player.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests there are teams interested in signing the Belgian international from Ibrox over the winter and means Rangers could potentially sign him to fund Danny Roll&#8217;s new contract if they were so inclined, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that&#8217;s what they should do.<\/p>\n<p>TEAMtalk reported earlier this month that it would take a fee of between \u00a318m and \u00a320m to induce the Gers to sell Ruskin, which would be a significant profit compared to the \u00a31.5m they signed for Ruskin around three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Selling him for a fee in the same region would mean Rangers could earn more money than Igamane, Patterson or Aribo, as mentioned above, but it would take a \u00a320m fee to snatch Bassey&#8217;s crown as the club&#8217;s biggest-ever sale.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Ruskin &#8211;
