Why it matters

The potential arrival of Couhaib Driouech at Rangers could strengthen the Scottish club's squad as they look to improve their performance in the Scottish Premiership and UEFA Champions League. With his speed and versatility on the wings, Driouech could become a valuable asset for the coach. In addition, this is the tenth summer signing, demonstrating Rangers' ambition in the transfer market.

Context

Couhaib Driouech, aged 24, proved himself in the Eredivisie with Excelsior before joining PSV Eindhoven. Although he showed good potential with nine goals and eight assists last season, he was often used as a substitute. His move to a Scottish Premiership club like Rangers could offer him an opportunity to play more regularly and make a name for himself on the European scene.

Couhaib Driouech, the PSV Eindhoven winger, was present at Ibrox to follow Rangers' match against Jagiellonia Bialystok, while a transfer to the Scottish club is expected in the coming hours. The 24-year-old is expected to finalize his departure on Friday, according to available information.

Arriving at PSV in the summer of 2024 after three seasons at Excelsior Rotterdam, Driouech showed great promise last season: nine goals and eight assists in 40 appearances in all competitions. Despite these interesting figures, he was often used off the bench, making only one starting start in PSV's eight Champions League matches and totaling 24 substitutions in the Eredivisie.

Trained in the Netherlands - he made his professional debut with Heerenveen before distinguishing himself at Excelsior (101 matches and 16 goals) - Driouech is a versatile winger, renowned for his rapid support, his speed and his calm finishing. Born in Haarlem, he could claim three national selections but chose to represent Morocco: he was notably part of the Moroccan group that won the African Under-23 Championship.

At Ibrox, the arrival of Driouech would add to an already lively transfer window: he would be Rangers' tenth summer recruit and the second winger after the signing of Daisuke Yokota, who came from Hanover last week. President Andrew Cavenagh indicated Monday that he was expecting "three to five more players", while specifying that "several could leave", also confirming the departure of midfielder Mohamed Diomande, sold on Wednesday to the Turkish club Çorum.

For Rangers, who are looking to strengthen all lines ahead of a demanding league and cup season, Driouech represents an attacking option capable of playing on both flanks. On the PSV side, the possible loss of the winger raises the question of rotation and squad depth after significant summer recruitment.

No official announcement had yet been published at the time of the latest information, with Driouech simply “at Ibrox” awaiting the conclusion of negotiations. Rangers supporters and leaders, however, hope to quickly finalize the operation to integrate the winger into the group as soon as possible.

The rest

Driouech is expected to finalize his move to Rangers this Friday, which could also influence the movements of other players within the club. President Andrew Cavenagh indicated that several other recruits could follow, while departures are also expected, notably with the sale of Mohamed Diomande. Rangers fans will hope that Driouech can adapt quickly and contribute to the club's future success in the Scottish Premiership.
