Rangers and Russell Martin are ready to kickstart their summer of transfers imminently.
The Ibrox club completed the signing of Lyall Cameron some time ago, having signed a pre-contract agreement with the Gers.
Now, it looks as though Max Aarons and Kwame Poku will be joining Cameron at Rangers.
Indeed, Poku is a player with vast potential, and there has been talk of a Premier League move already amid the impending transfer from Peterborough.
Poku backed for Premier League move despite Rangers transfer
With Vaclav Cerny returning to VfL Wolfsburg following his Rangers loan, Poku is primed to replace the 27-year-old.
The Peterborough United man enjoyed a sensational season in League One, totalling 20 goal contributions, even with injury issues.
| Kwame Poku’s 2024/25 League One statistics | Total |
| Apperances | 27 |
| Goals | 12 |
| Assists | 8 |
| Big chances created | 9 |
| Touches | 46.3 |
| Accurate passes | 20.3 (80%) |
His contract is set to expire at the end of the month, meaning speculation around his future has been growing for some time.
Birmingham and Sunderland had been linked with a move for the winger, but Poku is heading to Rangers.
The Posh have possessed substantial talent within their ranks through the years, with Ivan Toney, Harrison Burrows, and Sammie Szmodics all on their books in the past.
Peterborough chief Barry Fry has already admitted that the Ghana livewire can go all the way to the very top, with fans set to love him in Govan first, it seems.
Speaking via the Daily Record (16 June), he said: “Kwame’s top drawer. The Rangers fans would absolutely love him if he went up to Scotland.”
On his ability to reach the Premier League, he added: “One million per cent. He’s only 23, so I’ve no doubt he’ll get there.
“He’s a lovely boy, and he’s got tremendous potential to go to the top. But wherever he goes next, he’s got to play.”
Ibrox would provide Poku with grand stage to shine
While Poku has been entertaining League One crowds, there is further potential that can be unlocked in Scotland.
Of course, a move to Rangers would represent a massive step up, but the 23-year-old can be boosted by the quality around him, just as Joe Aribo was.
Poku’s numbers are already scary, but he has the creativity and technical ability to increase them next season with better players to interlink with.
A move to the Premier League may still be on the agenda for Poku, but his focus must be on performing in Scotland if a deal comes to fruition.
Whatever happens, this looks to be a smart piece of business by Rangers as Poku’s value will only continue to rise.
