AliousMore Exciting Than Cameron: Rangers Closing in on “Outstanding” Winger Who Could Light Up Ibrox
Glasgow Rangers have entered a crucial rebuild phase this summer as new head coach Russell Martin looks to reshape a squad that ended last season trophyless. The pressure is already on the former Swansea and Southampton boss to deliver silverware in his debut campaign, and the recruitment drive is well underway.
**Cameron In, But Bigger Moves Ahead**
The club recently confirmed the signing of 22-year-old Lyall Cameron on a free transfer from Dundee. A versatile midfielder, Cameron has already made 65 Premiership appearances and registered nine goals and five assists in the 2024/25 campaign alone. His domestic experience and end product make him a valuable addition, capable of impacting games immediately due to his familiarity with the pace and physicality of Scottish football.
Cameron’s ability to operate in both central and attacking midfield roles gives Martin more flexibility in reshaping the final third. However, despite the promising addition, Rangers are on the verge of landing a player considered even more thrilling than the new Scottish arrival.
**Kwame Poku – A Potential Game-Changer**
According to **STV News**, Rangers are *“hopeful of concluding”* a deal for **Kwame Poku**, the Peterborough United winger, whose contract is due to expire at the end of the month. The Ibrox side believe they are firmly in pole position to land the Ghana international, who could be available for a nominal training compensation fee due to UEFA’s cross-border rules.
Poku, who has impressed as a left-footed right-winger, is expected to replace Vaclav Cerny, who has returned to Wolfsburg after a solid loan stint. But the expectation is that Poku may deliver even more than his predecessor—and possibly more than Cameron.
**Why Poku Tops Cameron in Excitement Factor**
Poku’s statistics from the 2024/25 season in League One suggest he could be a significant upgrade on both Cerny and Cameron. He not only outscored the Dundee playmaker but also produced more assists, offering a potent combination of goal threat and creativity. The 23-year-old has shown a consistent ability to beat defenders, deliver quality from wide areas, and contribute regularly in the final third.
Dubbed “outstanding” by journalist **Lukman Evergreen**, Poku has a dynamic playing style and technical polish that could translate effectively to the Scottish Premiership. If Rangers can finalise this deal, Martin will be getting a player who is not only a direct attacking threat but also one with the potential to thrive under a coach known for developing attacking talent.
**More Moves Coming – Max Aarons Also Targeted**
Alongside the potential Poku signing, STV News also reports that Rangers are eyeing **Max Aarons** from Bournemouth. Aarons, who came through Norwich’s academy during Martin’s time at the club, is being lined up for a loan deal. If successful, this move would further bolster Rangers’ options in defence with a player who knows Martin’s expectations well.
**Excitement Building at Ibrox**
With Cameron already secured and Poku likely on the way, Rangers fans have reason to be optimistic. The incoming talent suggests a refreshed, aggressive approach in the final third, and Poku’s arrival could add a new dimension to Martin’s attack.
As things stand, the Gers may be about to land a winger who not only replaces the output of last season’s stars but raises the bar for what’s expected at Ibrox heading into 2025/26.
