BEST SIGNING EVER;Vaclav Cerny dumped by 49ers as Poku confirm as his replacement

Rangers are poised for their most significant transfer window in years as the 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh strive to back Russell Martin.

The Ibrox club have serious work to do to close the gap on Celtic, but Rangers are armed with £20million to spend in the market.

However, the Gers must also make decisions on players familiar to them, and the future of Vaclav Cerny remains uncertain.

Indeed, the latest news regarding Kwame Poku threatens to scupper any chance of a return for the Czechia international.

Poku transfer news spells the end for Vaclav Cerny

Cerny put in some exceptional performances for Rangers in his temporary spell, but it looks like supporters have seen the last of him.

The winger enjoyed a fruitful season-long loan from VfL Wolfsburg, notching 27 goal contributions in all competitions.

Given how admirably he performed, it was always going to be a challenge to secure the 27-year-old permanently, with his cost only rising.

Appearances	33
Goals	12
Assists	4
Big chances created	6
Touches	50.9
Accurate passes	26.2 (79%)

Now, the chances of the Czech returning to Ibrox are even slimmer, given the news about Poku.

Poku is set to arrive at Rangers on a free transfer as a “direct replacement” for Cerny, according to the Scottish Sun (16 June).

The Peterborough United man will become a free agent at the end of the month, and the Bears have beaten several clubs to land the 23-year-old.

The winger is in demand after a sensational season for Posh, where he notched 20 goal contributions in League One, and a small compensation fee will follow.

Rangers will miss Cerny, but Poku has potential

Given Cerny’s sheer numbers last campaign, he will certainly be a miss for the Glasgow club.
