Rangers and 25 rivals enter a transfer battle royale for summer's must have as beaming chairman raves about him
Winger Poku is one of a number of summer targets interesting Russell Martin Barry Fry has warned Rangers they face a battle with 25 clubs across Europe if they want to land Kwame Poku. But the Peterborough director of football admits Gers could get a £10m diamond for buttons should they win the race for the Ghana international. Winger Poku is one of a number of summer targets interesting Russell Martin with Leicester City defender Connor Coady in talks over a move to Govan while Swansea's Harry Darling, Westerlo striker Matija Frigan and Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman have all been linked. Poku could be the perfect fit to replace Vaclav Cerny, who has been priced out of a permanent move to Ibrox after his loan spell in Govan last season. The 23-year-old netted 12 goals and added eight assists in 27 League One games for Posh last season and also helped lift the Vertu Football League Trophy at Wembley against Birmingham who were understood to be leading the race for his signature until recently. Peterborough bosses hope Poku - signed from Colchester for £250,000 in 2021 - chooses to stay in England where the compensation tribunal for under 24 players is of a higher value than the FIFA regulated version for cross border moves. And Fry, who insists Poku is destined for the Premier League one day, said he has a list of suitors spanning some of the biggest leagues in Europe. The Peterborough stalwart told Mail Sport: 'Kwame's out of contract and to my knowledge he's speaking to 26 clubs, home and abroad, and he'll go wherever he wants to go. 'I spoke to him on Friday morning but he's not decided where he wants to go at the minute. 'He's such an exciting player. Wherever he goes, he'll be a fan's favourite. 'He spent a couple of years at Colchester and we took a punt on him. We have had a lot of offers for him that we've turned down because we wanted to get promotion. 'Now he has the choice. 'I've had loads of clubs from Portugal, Belgium, Germany on about him as well as loads of clubs in England. 'I was asking clubs for £5 million and £5 million in add-ons when they were interested previously. 'He has that potential, he's that good a player.' Should Poku choose to leave England for either Govan or Europe in the coming weeks then the compensation fee will be decided by the standard FIFA regulations. Similar to the deal that saw Joe Aribo move from Charlton to Ibrox six years ago for just £300,000. Fry said: 'Yeah, we'd get some from FIFA. We'd get some, but it wouldn't be ideal for us. 'It would be FIFA working out what we paid for him and what offers we've had for him and all that. 'I've never been in that situation, so I don't know whether it'll be a pound or a million. You know what I mean? I ain't got a clue. 'We would definitely prefer him to stay in England, that's for sure.'

Copa Libertadores: Palmeiras (Brazil) - 2021 Flamengo (Brazil) - 2022 Fluminense (Brazil) - 2023 Botafogo (Brazil) - 2024 CONMEBOL ranking qualifier: River Plater (Argentina) Club World Cup rankings: Boca Juniors (Argentina) 8 Concacaf qualifiers Four teams from Concacaf qualified either by winning the Concacaf Champions League, or by winning a play in*.
