“He’s ended up getting Cantwell, but this one is another one that seems to be changing every day as it seems to be now that he’s linked with Benfica.” The "flamboyant" forward - as previously described by talent scout Jacek Kulig - has only recently been recalled by the Swans after starring in the third tier for Plymouth Argyle in the first half of the season, scoring nine goals and laying on seven assists in just 25 games in all competitions. The dynamic winger - who can also feature in an attacking midfield berth - also boasts a respectable haul of five goals in just 22 games for his parent club, after also netting five times in only 20 outings while on loan at Lincoln City last season. A player who is seemingly flourishing at present, Whittaker could well prove a notable upgrade on current Ibrox dud, Rabbi Matondo, with the Welshman having failed to make an impact since his summer arrival from Schalke. Although it is too soon to write off the 22-year-old just yet, the one-time Manchester City youngster has shown little during his time in Scotland to date, having failed to score in 21 appearances in all competitions this season, albeit while registering four assists. The struggling wide man is said to be suffering a "crisis of confidence", in the words of his manager, having been restricted to just eight starts during his time at the club to date. Although a possible loan exit for the 11-cap international appears to have been ruled out this month, it would be no surprise to see that situation change later in the year, should Matondo continue to underwhelm. The signing of a direct and in-form competitor such as Whittaker, however, could make life even harder for the former Stoke City loanee to prove his worth to Beale and co. As such, this latest transfer approach for the Swansea starlet could prove to be the beginning of the end for Matondo at Rangers.
