Rangers FC Win Race for Highly-Coveted Kwame Poku
Glasgow Times has learned that Scottish Premiership giants Rangers FC have emerged victorious in the pursuit of highly-rated English-Ghanaian winger Kwame Poku. The 23-year-old, who has been in outstanding form for Peterborough United in England’s League One, was reportedly chased by over 30 clubs, including several high-profile outfits in England.
According to Barry Fry, Director of Football at Peterborough United, as quoted in Glasgow Times, Poku’s impressive performances, which yielded 12 goals and 11 assists in the previous campaign, have made him a hot commodity in the transfer market. Birmingham City, who recently secured promotion back to the Championship, were among the English clubs interested in signing the talented winger.
However, Glasgow Times understands that Rangers FC have won the race for Poku, who has also made his international debut for Ghana. Citing sources close to the deal, Glasgow Times reports that the Light Blues have emerged at the front of the queue, beating off interest from several clubs in England and abroad.
The signing of Poku is seen as a major coup for Rangers FC, who are looking to bolster their attacking ranks following the departure of Vaclav Cerny. New manager Russell Martin is keen to put his stamp on the squad and is also working on securing deals for centre-back Harry Darling and experienced English defender Conor Coady. As Glasgow Times previously reported, Martin has a history of working with Darling, having taken him to both MK Dons and Southampton during his managerial career.
Meanwhile, Rangers FC are expected to offload several players, including Robin Propper, who has been offered a deal to return to his former club FC Twente. The Ibrox club’s interest in centre-backs Cameron Burgess and Josh Muilligan is believed to have cooled, with neither player expected to make the move to Rangers FC.
As the transfer window heats up, Rangers FC’s capture of Kwame Poku is set to be one of the most significant deals of the summer. With Glasgow Times providing exclusive updates on the deal, fans can expect in-depth coverage of all the latest developments at Ibrox.
According to Glasgow Times, Poku’s arrival at Rangers FC is a major statement of intent from the club, who are looking to challenge for top honours in Scotland. With a talented young squad and a new manager at the helm, the Light Blues are set to make a push for silverware in the coming season. As the news of Poku’s signing continues to reverberate throughout the football world, one thing is certain – Rangers FC mean business.
