"Obviously, I know it's not as easy as that and I know there's lots of moving parts that come into play. I'm very open to new opportunities and I'm very open to exploring that. "I'm so young so I think it's only right that I assess those options and find the best decision for myself."
Super Eagles defender Emmanuel Fernandez has brushed aside criticism of his performances for Rangers, insisting he is focused on improving rather than worrying about what is being said about him.
Fernandez enjoyed an outstanding first season after joining Rangers from Peterborough United, winning the club’s Men’s Player of the Season award and earning a place in the PFA Scotland Team of the Season.

When Howard Webb took over as the Premier League referees' chief in 2022, he promised greater transparency and openness.
Huge strides have been made on that front, and the Match Officials Mic'd Up VAR TV show was a trailblazer among the top European leagues.
It was a logical move from Webb, considering his time as the boss of referees in Major League Soccer prior to his move back to England.
It was one of the most controversial VAR decisions in years, yet the 74,161 inside Old Trafford were kept in the dark.
When referee Michael Oliver blew his whistle to award Erling Haaland's goal, few would have had any clue the real offside situation involved Enzo Fernandez.
Viewers on television, however, were able to learn exactly what happened with the goal that gave Manchester City a 1-0 win.
It is not just about the most contentious decisions, either.
On Saturday, Crystal Palace defender Axel Disasi was sent off for serious foul play in the 3-2 loss to Ipswich Town.
The video assistant referee for the Manchester derby, Matt Donohue, and his assistant VAR, Blake Antrobus, have not been appointed for this weekend's Premier League games.
The decision was made by the Premier League refereeing body Pro Ref's chief refereeing officer Howard Webb and the management team.
It follows Pro Ref admitting to an "error of judgement" in awarding Erling Haaland's winning goal for Manchester City at Manchester United on Sunday.
The striker scored in the 60th minute at Old Trafford when he turned in a shot at the back post from Josko Gvardiol's cross.
Female athletes have spoken out against a controversial sports gambling advert starring actress Sydney Sweeney.
The advert has gone viral online and features American Sweeney naked but covering parts of her body with various pieces of sporting equipment.
It has sparked a strong reaction, with many female athletes criticising its sexualisation of women in sport, and how they are being defined by their appearance rather than their achievements as sportswomen.
Amy Hunt, who became a four-time European champion earlier this summer, referenced the advert after she ran a season's best 22.10 seconds to finish fourth in the 200m final at the Ultimate Championship in Budapest on Sunday.
"Sydney Sweeney, this is what women in sport look like," Hunt said in her post-race interview with BBC Sport.
Referring to Melissa Jefferson-Wooden's winning time of 21.47 seconds, the fourth fastest ever over the distance, she added: "21.4. Muscles. Hard work, blood, sweat, tears. This is a beautiful evening."
Henry Pollock continues to play hardball in his negotiations over a Northampton Saints contract extension, insisting he is still open to offers from elsewhere, including overseas, and that he remains determined to be “quite selfish” over his future.
The 21-year-old England back row’s current deal, thought to be worth about £150,000 a year, expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign.
Pollock added Eddie Hearn to his advisory team earlier this year and the boxing impresario upped the ante by claiming his new client was “a seven-figure player”, whose current pay shocked him.
“Northampton’s been so great to me, I’ve been here my whole career and they’ve made me who I am. For me to stay here would be so special,” said Pollock.
