Couhaib Driouech, a 24-year-old winger from PSV Eindhoven, is at Ibrox to observe Rangers’ match against Jagiellonia Bialystok as he finalizes his transfer to the Scottish Premiership club. The Moroccan international is expected to conclude the move on Friday.
Driouech predominantly operates on the left flank and recorded nine goals and eight assists across 40 appearances in the previous campaign. Despite these contributions, he frequently appeared as a substitute, earning only one start in PSV’s eight Champions League matches while coming off the bench 24 times in domestic league play.
The winger will become Rangers’ 10th addition during the current transfer window and the second winger arrival, following Daisuke Yokota’s signing from Hannover last week. Driouech represented Morocco at the Under-23 level and previously spent three seasons with Excelsior before joining PSV in summer 2024.
Hailing from Haarlem, Driouech began his professional career with Heerenveen before establishing himself at Excelsior, where he made 101 appearances and scored 16 goals. Known for his quick footwork, pace, precise finishing and versatility across both wings, he was part of the Morocco squad that won the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations, though he had the option to represent France or the Netherlands.
Rangers Chairman Andrew Cavenagh previously indicated expectations of signing three to five additional players while noting that a number of current squad members could depart. Midfielder Mohamed Diomande was sold to Turkish club Corum earlier in the week.
