The Rangers Review recently reported that Kwame Poku was a target for the Light Blues. The Glasgow giants are not alone in their pursuit, though, as teams in France, Germany, and Birmingham City, a recently promoted Championship team, are closely monitoring the former Peterborough United offensive star, who is available on a Bosman.
After a successful trial, the 23-year-old Ghanaian international, who was born in England, was signed by League Two team Colchester United after spending his first few years with semi-professional teams Cray Wanderers and Worthing. He quickly established himself as a starter for the U’s before being acquired for £250,000 in the summer of 2021 by Peterborough, who were then in the Championship. Poku demonstrated his brilliance high up the pitch in League One after first playing sporadically. He had a successful 2024–25 season in spite of missing several months of play because of a hamstring problem. The youthful player is now prepared for the next phase of his career after recording 12 goals and 11 assists in 31 games.
Darragh MacAnthony, the Posh’s chairman, praised Poku in an interview, but the team was unable to keep him on past this summer.
“Kwame will likely join a prestigious Championship club, but he won’t likely join the Premier League right away. In the future, he will be a Premier League star, and his next move will most likely cost £30 million.
Why the Rangers May Sign Cerny’s Deserving Successor
Vaclav Cerny had an incredible season-long loan from Wolfsburg, but the Gers were unable to sign him to a permanent contract. For a pitiful tribunal price, however, the Ghanaian would be a viable substitute for the Czech attacker. He would provide flair, speed, and elegance down the right. His pass, dribble, finish, cut-insides, and lay-offs should also be a threat to the opposition.
Under new manager Russell Martin, Rangers are rebuilding this summer. The former Southampton manager was persuaded to accept the Ibrox position by Kevin Thelwell, who joined as their sporting director from Everton. A £20 million transfer fund from the 49ers and their new owner, Andrew Cavenagh, demonstrates their unwavering desire to restore the lost grandeur. However, the need for substantial reinforcements would need prudent business practices over the next months.
After splitting from Ianis Hagi and Tom Lawrence, they need to make investments on the opposing flank in addition to the right-wing spot. Ross McCausland and Nedim Bajrami could be sold for better offers because they were unable to claim a place in Barry Ferguson’s or Philippe Clement’s plans. Millions should be saved by signing Poku for a pittance, which will enable them to strengthen other areas while catching up to Celtic.
