Couhaib Driouech's future is set to be resolved soon with Rangers keen to bring him to Ibrox.

The winger is the Bears' biggest priority right now, as the Govan side hope to strike an agreement with PSV soon.

Though the Light Blues face competition from Burnley and Celta Vigo, the 49ers remain hopeful that they can tempt the 24-year-old to Glasgow.

He would become Derek McInnes' 10th new addition this summer if he were to sign, but the Gers won't stop there.

Further cover at left-back and centre-back is desired, though attack is the biggest priority for McInnes right now.

Driouech may be able to solve some of Rangers' current problems, and he could be headed to Ibrox soon.

Why Couhaib Driouech 'resolution' is 'expected' soon

There have been reports to suggest that the Light Blues have already had a £6million offer rejected for the Moroccan.

However, Rangers have not yet made a bid for Driouech, with Ibrox sources insisting they are progressing on a possible deal.

It's said that the Bears now want to strike an agreement with PSV for a fee worth £7m, but they will need to beat off competition before advancing any further.

In an update on X from Eindhovens Dagblad reporter Rik Elfrink, Rangers' pursuit of Driouech falls in the range of a transfer fee between £6.8m and £7.25m.

It's said that a "resolution" is "expected soon", with Celta Vigo still monitoring the situation.

PSV are now "likely" to sell, and the Dutch side could just be awaiting an initial offer before making a decision to part ways with the playmaker.

What problems would Driouech solve for McInnes?

Following Rangers' 2-1 defeat to Hibernian on Sunday, it's clear that the Bears still need several additions.

The recruitment team can be questioned just as much as McInnes up until this point, with some suggestions that players don't fit the 55-year-old's 4-4-2 formation.

Driouech would offer clear creativity for the Gers, as the left-winger grabbed more assists than goals in the Eredivisie last season.

He created 1.90 chances per game in the league, a statistic that could be the final missing piece to the jigsaw at Ibrox.

Rangers look prepared to make their move, with suggestions that they are confident on making their next signing.
