The Wolfsburg loanee had an incredible personal season, scoring 12 goals and dishing out four assists in 33 Scottish Premiership games.
Both under Philippe Clement and later interim manager Barry Ferguson, he was a lone bright spot in a dreary campaign.
There was anticipation that the Light Blues may finalise a £5.5 million transfer, but the Czech international will return to the German club.
Kwame Poku appears to be next in line in spite of this.
Poku could be Cerny replacement at Rangers
Russell Martin would have loved to have Cerny back next season, however, it may not happen.
The Rangers Review (9 June) claims that the chances of the Gers securing a permanent deal for the Czech star are unlikely.
It is stated that the Govan outfit are interested in Poku, who is out of contract with Peterborough this summer and scored 12 goals in League One.
The Scottish club have competition for his signature from Birmingham City, as well as French and German clubs.Rangers would be a great move for Poku
If the Posh star chose to join Martin’s side, he would be almost guaranteed to start as they currently have a spot that is empty on the right flank.
Jack Harrison has been suggested as a possible target from Leeds, but there are question marks over his productivity after a poor two-year stint with Everton.
| Stats (League One) | Poku |
| Matches | 27 |
| Goals | 12 |
| Assists | 8 |
| Minutes played | 2,064 |
Poku would come to Ibrox fresh on the back of a campaign where he notched 20 contributions in 27 appearances in League One, and there is every chance that he could produce in Scotland.
If the Gers can prevail in the competition for his signature, there is a very good chance that the 23-year-old Ghanaian player would become a superstar with them.
To close the gap with Celtic, the 49ers and company must take calculated chances, and Poku’s stock will only increase in the future.
If Poku produces the goods right away after signing, the compensation amount owing to the EFL organisation would be worthwhile.
