Rangers interested in Kwame Poku following Peterborough exit
Poku, who is a left-footed right-winger, was part of the side that defeated Birmingham at Wembley last season to retain the EFL Trophy. Having also made his debut for Ghana, Poku has been tracked by a number of English clubs for some time. However, a hamstring injury over the festive period last season prevented Peterborough from selling the player in January before the expiry of his contract. Peterborough would be entitled to a tribunal fee for the winger whom they paid Colchester United an initial £250,000 for at the age of 19. Peterborough recently confirmed that Poku would not sign a new deal with the club and move on from the London Road stadium this summer. Darragh MacAnthony, Peterborough's chairman, said: "Kwame probably won't go to the Premier League straight away, but he will get a high-end Championship club. He will be a Premier League star in the future and that next move will probably cost £30 million.'
