Rangers and Celtic handed transfer truth bomb as EPL clubs 'most likely' destination for 12-goal target

Celtic and Rangers have been told they face an uphill battle to convince one of their reported targets to move to the Scottish Premiership after interest from the English Premier League (EPL) emerged over the weekend. The Glasgow giants have both been linked with an interest in Peterborough United's out of contract attacker Kwame Poku, with Rangers said to have been keen on the star as far back as November, after club scouts watched the 23-year-old score a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Cambridge United. Celtic are also said to be one of several clubs to have made contact with the player's representatives last month.

Kwame Poku (right). Photo Joe Dent/ | Photo Joe Dent/ Peterborough are due a tribunal-set compensation fee because he joined them Colchester United before the age of 21. However, both Celtic and Rangers could take advantage of cross-border transfer rules, with the player likely to be able to sign for a 'minimal' compensation fee, as opposed to the much higher development fee English clubs would be forced to pay. Newly promoted EFL Championship sides Birmingham City and Wrexham have also been credited with an interest in the talented attacker, while Sheffield United are also said to be monitoring developments. However, it now appears that EPL outfit Sunderland may have moved to the head of the queue, after interest from the Black Cats emerged over the weekend. Speaking to Football League World, former Aston Villa and England midfielder Lee Hendrie believes Sunderland could win the race for his signature, with interested parties likely to be "up against it" in order to sign the youngster if Regis Le Bris' side table an official offer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "I think Poku is a really, really good player," said Hendrie. 'He's a young player who has got bags of ability, but obviously there are a lot of clubs that are sniffing around him, like Sunderland and Sheffield United. Birmingham are a team like Wrexham, who are newly promoted. I think they've got to bring in the right personnel who know the league and have potential to go again. Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris | Chris Fryatt 'If Sunderland come in with an offer, you would think that being in the Premier League is the ultimate aim for these guys. As a player, you want to play at the top level and test yourself, and I'm sure Poku is the same because he's got the ability to go and play at the top of the Championship, maybe even the Premier League.'

Harry Redknapp says 'it's scary how low I got' as he shares impact on Sandra
Former West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has spoken of how every time his side suffered a defeat, it had a powerful impact on him and his family In Harry Redknapp 's long career – managing the likes of West Ham, QPR and Spurs – he experienced huge highs and terrible lows. He won the FA Cup with Portsmouth and guided the Tottenham side that qualified for the Champions League in 2010. But he also saw QPR relegated in 2013, eventually leaving the club because he "no longer knew who was on my side,' and eventually retired in 2017 after a grim final season at Birmingham. Those tough times left Harry in a 'scary' place, as he told The Times: 'The bad days are horrendous. I look back and it's scary how low I used to get, now I think about it.' He explained that although he didn't take his frustrations out on his wife Sandra, he simply "wasn't any use to her" after a loss. Harry recalled: "I didn't have a go at Sandra, I just wasn't any use to her. I would never go out with anybody on a Saturday if we lost. I'd go to bed. And that was before all of the outside pressures." Harry recalled: 'I would be so low, my god, it was frightening. I'd go back to my flat on my own when I was at West Ham, just lay on the settee and look at the ceiling. I wouldn't eat, my mind was all over the place.' He says that the long drive home after an away defeat could be 'horrific.' His unruffled exterior led people to assume that he wasn't bothered by losing a match, but, in fact, every loss hit him very hard. 'You care about everything,' he said. 'You feel you've let everybody down, the fans, it's their life. You're driving and you pull up beside a car. They look over and you put your head down.' Harry says that while some of his contemporaries, such as 'Big Ron' Atkinson, seemed able to shrug off a bad result, he could never achieve that level of professional detachment: "I took it all home with me,' he says. Harry's son Jamie Redknapp says he was sometimes wary of calling his dad after a game had gone badly: 'There is no doubt in my mind that I've watched Dad get so low because of managing at times and thought 'Why would I put myself through that?' 'If he'd lost you'd take a deep breath before you called him. I'd ask Mum how he was first and she'd say 'he was on the floor.' Then people ask why I didn't go into management.' Former professional footballer and Sky Sports pundit Jamie recalled that, as a boy, he'd know there would be a celebration meal if Harry's team won, but if the game went the other way, there would be "absolutely no chance of that.' The lesson Jamie took away from those years, he says, is that every result was of paramount importance: "That's what football did to you,' he says. Harry Redknapp is appearing on James Martin's Saturday Morning on ITV from 10.30am.
