Rangers mercilessly trolled in barbed Kwame Poku transfer boast as QPR get their revenge
Poku was a target for Gers but has opted to remain down south after signing on at Loftus Road Queens Park Rangers have fired a cheeky dig at Rangers after edging them out in the race to sign Peterborough star Kwame Poku. The talented attacking midfielder - who has been capped for Ghana at senior level - had been heavily linked with Gers in the past 12 months, with Posh director of football Barry Fry revealing Ibrox scouts had watched the player in action. Rangers were said to have an advantage in the transfer tussle over their competitors down south to land the 23-year-old due to FIFA 's cross-border rules on compensation development fees for out of contract players. Russell Martin' s side were confident of landing the midfielder for a fee of around £300,000 in compensation compared to the much larger sums of money needed for clubs in England to secure his services. But it is Marti Cifuentes' R's who have ultimately came out on top, and the English Championship side have wasted no time in poking fun at Rangers expense. In their post on X to confirm their transfer they trolled the Ibrox giants, writing: "Kwame Poku signs for THE Rangers", followed by a winking face emoji. It comes less than three years after QPR fans were left furious by manager Michael Beale's quickfire exit to replace Gio van Bronckhorst north of the border. The former Liverpool youth coach had been in charge at Loftus Road for just 22 matches when he made the move to Rangers in November 2022, having previously worked as Steven Gerrard's number two in Govan. His decision to leave the London side after just five months did not go down well with R supporters including club favourite and former striker Jamie Mackie, who ripped into the Englishman during an appearance on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday. He said:: "When Michael Beale came in he was a complete unknown and newbie to management. "He was given a fantastic opportunity by QPR and he quickly spoke about his culture of integrity and longevity. He said he'd even spoke to the players and their families about buying into the project and jumping ship to another club. "But now he's done exactly what he said he wouldn't do and jumped ship and I think that's where the problem is. Everyone would understand if he got the chance to manage in the Premier League, but he was the one who came out and spoke about his loyalty. "I really question his integrity and I really wonder what other chairman will think of that in the future. Rangers have got a relationship with him and they understand him, but I look at it and go do I want that character going forward? I'm not so sure. "Maybe managing Rangers is his ultimate dream, but I also noticed he was in the stands when the old manager who hadn't been sacked yet was still there. I really don't like that and I certainly don't like that as a manager he was going up there as a 'fan'. "Then two weeks later he gets the job? Well that doesn't sit well with me at all or certainly with an opposing manager. I don't think it was the right way to act."

Revealed: How much Arsenal will have to pay for top striker target Benjamin Sesko after RB Leipzig 'drop price' for Slovenian star
Arsenal 's top striker target Benjamin Sesko will reportedly be available for around €70million (£60m) this summer. Mikel Arteta is keen to sign the Slovenian forward after another impressive season which saw him net 21 goals in 45 games in all competitions. The Gunners are long-term admirers of the RB Leipzig star and they had offers rejected for him in January An array of top European clubs and Saudi side Al-Hilal hope to land him this summer, but Sesko wants to remain in Europe. The 22-year-old, who joined Leipzig from RB Salzburg two years ago, is reportedly eager to move on this summer, despite being contracted at the German side until 2029. Leipzig are said to want a deal completed sooner rather than later in the summer, so they can spend more heavily in the transfer market. While they were 'dreaming' of a €80m (£68m) to €100m (£85m) payout for the striker, they have accepted that a more realistic fee for the young star is a €70m (£60m) base fee with add ons, according to Bild. Arteta is a huge fan of Sesko and is extremely keen on a move but there has been no contact between the clubs yet, the report adds. Sesko potentially dangled his strongest hint yet that he is interested in the Gunners. Arsenal fans may be encouraged to learn that Sesko has followed the club on Instagram. It is by no means confirmation of a move, but it at least indicates that Sesko - or whoever is managing his account - is interested in the north Londoners. Meanwhile, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly favours Viktor Gyökeres because he has proven his quality for longer. Berta wants to make five signings but has a wide range of potential targets if their principal ambitions don't come off. Gyokeres would cost around £65m and is still desperate for a move to the Premier League following a stunning season where he scored 53 goals and added 13 assists in 52 games for Sporting. However, there are reservations at the Emirates over whether he will be able to translate that form to the Premier League.
