PSV Make Their Move as Rangers Submit Fresh Bid for Couhaib Driouech

Rangers are continuing their efforts to bring PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech to Ibrox, with the Scottish club refusing to walk away from the deal despite increasing competition.

The Light Blues initially tested PSV’s resolve with a bid of around £6 million, but interest from elsewhere has since intensified. Celta Vigo and Burnley are also reportedly monitoring the Moroccan attacker, making Rangers’ pursuit more complicated.

Manager Derek McInnes remains keen to strengthen his options in the wide areas. Rangers have already added Daisuke Yokota from Hannover 96, but further attacking reinforcements remain on the agenda, with Driouech viewed as a potentially significant addition.

Developments surrounding the winger’s future have accelerated since PSV began their domestic campaign.

Rangers return with another offer

Rangers’ determination to win the race appears to have been reinforced by a significant development in the Netherlands.

Driouech was reportedly omitted from PSV’s squad for their opening league fixture against Fortuna Sittard, which ended in a 2-2 draw. His absence comes as discussions over his future continue, with Rangers still attempting to find a breakthrough.

Reports from Scotland claim the Ibrox club have submitted another proposal for the 24-year-old within the past 24 hours.

The latest approach could give Rangers a fresh opportunity to secure what would be considered a major signing for McInnes. The club’s continued interest also appears to have prompted PSV to begin considering potential replacements should Driouech leave.

For Rangers, the message is clear: they are prepared to keep pushing until they know whether they can complete the deal.

Where could Driouech play for Rangers?

Driouech would fit naturally into McInnes’ system because Rangers have consistently used two wide players in their early competitive matches.

The Rangers boss has experimented with different formations, using two forwards against Dundee before switching to a lone striker for the Europa League trip to Jagiellonia Bialystok.

However, the use of wingers has remained a consistent feature regardless of the formation.

The current options have yet to establish themselves completely. Thelo Aasgaard endured a difficult evening in Poland and his best position remains unclear, while Yokota’s Rangers debut was underwhelming, although he had barely had time to train with his new teammates.

Findlay Curtis, meanwhile, impressed after coming off the bench and could be rewarded with a starting opportunity against Hibernian at Ibrox.

That leaves room for another attacking player to claim the opposite flank, and Driouech could immediately provide serious competition.

The Moroccan’s experience in high-profile matches could also help him settle quickly if Rangers manage to beat their rivals to his signature.

With a new bid reportedly on the table and PSV already considering replacements, the coming days could prove crucial in determining whether Driouech becomes McInnes’ next major attacking addition.
