Rangers will have to pay a fee to sign Peterborough’s Kwame Poku in the summer, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Gers will have to pay a “nominal tribunal fee” to the Posh even though they will be hoping to lure him north of the border on a free transfer.

The 23-year-old’s contract at Peterborough expires this summer and it is expected that he will run down his deal with the League One side in a bid to move on.

Poku has dazzled in League One and been a constant attacking threat for Peterborough, but his long-term future appears to be elsewhere.

The Ghana international is seen as an exciting potential signing for Rangers due to his versatility, as Poku can play down the middle or out wide.

The bright forward will tick a lot of boxes for Rangers which could lead to him being a prime target when the window opens.

Rangers will have to fight off competition to land Poku’s signature

Poku has caught the attention of various teams due to his performance levels this season which will create competition for his signature.

Well-placed sources have informed Football Insider that there will be lots of foreign interest in him due to the fact the 23-year-old will be a free agent.

Poku also has a foreign agent which could pave the way for a move abroad in what would be seen as a major blow to Peterborough given the compensation fee would be minimal compared to if he joined a team in England.

Rangers are set for a busy summer of change

It is going to be a summer of change at Ibrox with the 49ers group taking over, which could see the club benefit from a cash injection to strengthen the squad.

However, their biggest decision will be appointing a new full-time manager as Barry Ferguson is only in the role until the end of this season.

Rangers fans believe that Jose Mourinho threw his name in the ring with his latest comments, while Rafael Benitez is on the list of potential targets.
