Celtic and Rangers are in a strong position to sign Peterborough United winger Kwame Poku. The Ghana international has been in great form this season, scoring 12 goals and getting 8 assists in just 27 League One games.
His performances have caught the attention of a number of clubs, and now it looks like a a bidding war is set to begin to sign him. Birmingham City are one of the clubs trying to bring Poku in.
They are reportedly ready to offer him a contract worth £30,000 per week according to Football League World, which would be a big step up for the 23-year-old. But there is a big worry at Birmingham that they could lose out to either Celtic or Rangers.
Peterborough’s director of football, Barry Fry said: (Givemesport), “Celtic and Rangers have been to most of our games this season.” That shows how serious the Hoops interest in the winger is. They’ve clearly been watching him closely and might now be ready to make their move.
As the summer transfer window gets closer, this story is one to watch. Poku is clearly a player with a lot of talent, and the next step in his career could be a big one. Celtic are in a good position and may act soon to bring him to Glasgow.
Birmingham might still try to sign Poku, but they know it will be very difficult. Celtic can offer him more money and the chance to play in European football. That gives the Hoops a big edge, and it’s hard for a club like Birmingham to match that.
