Rangers leave PSV surprised as they pull out of Driouech deal

PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech is at Ibrox to watch Rangers face Jagiellonia Bialystok pending a transfer to the Scottish Premiership club.

The 24-year-old Moroccan is expected to complete his move on Friday.

Driouech, who predominantly plays on the left, scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 40 appearances last season.

However, he was often used as a substitute, starting just once in PSV's eight Champions League outings and coming off the bench 24 times in the Eredivisie.

Driouech, who has represented Morocco at Under-23 level, spent three seasons with Rotterdam side Excelsior before joining PSV in the summer of 2024.

He will be the 10th summer arrival at Ibrox and the second winger following the signing of Daisuke Yokota from Hannover last week.

Chairman Andrew Cavenagh said on Monday he expected "three to five more players" while "a number will possibly go out", with midfielder Mohamed Diomande sold to Turkish club Corum on Wednesday.

Having come through the youth ranks, and made his professional debut, with Heerenveen, Driouech rose to prominence with Excelsior, making 101 appearances and scoring 16 goals before his high-profile transfer to PSV.

Known for his quick feet, speed, precise finishing and ability to play on both wings, Haarlem-born Driouech had the choice of also representing France and the Netherlands but was part of the Morocco squad that won the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations.
