Rangers are still firmly in the race to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech.

The Gers have made an offer to the Eredivisie club for the Moroccan attacker's services, but other teams are in the mix.

With the Dutch side ready to part ways with the 24-year-old this transfer window, there's no shortage of options for him.

What the Ibrox hierarchy initially need to do is reach an agreement with PSV, who want £7.2million for Driouech.

While several teams may be vying for the left-winger's services, surely not all of them will be ready to match the Eindhoven club's asking price.

With plenty of interest in the forward, the Dutch side are sticking with a high valuation.

Where Rangers stand in Couhaib Driouech transfer

Celta Vigo are trying to hijack a deal for Driouech, who are confident about wrapping up a quick deal for the Gers target.

The Light Blues have already bid £6.4m, which isn't far off what PSV are looking for, and there has been no mention of any other teams tabling a bid.

According to Eindhovens Dagblad on 7 August, apart from the Glaswegian outfit and the Spanish club, Burnley, Genoa, Red Bull Salzburg and a few German clubs have enquired about the Morocco national.

The Eredivisie club are prioritising receiving a good package for the attacker as competition for his signing grows.

Once an interested team meets the Dutch side's demands, it will be up to Driouech to agree personal terms with a club.

How Couhaib Driouech fits perfectly into Derek McInnes' plans at Ibrox

Rangers lost the first leg of the Europa League's third qualifying round 2-1 to Jagiellonia Bialystok away from home.

Derek McInnes now needs to find a way to turn the tie around at Ibrox, which may require Driouech's quality.

The Moroccan ace is a fast and direct winger who is capable of making an impact.

For PSV, the forward has scored some big goals in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, despite not starting many games.

In Poland, Findlay Curtis came off the bench to play on the left-wing and was arguably the Gers' best attacking outlet.

It was the Scotland international's directness and runs in behind Jagiellonia's defence that almost made a difference and Driouech could potentially bring that same impact to the Govan side.
