Rangers have withdrawn from a proposed deal to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech, with the player carrying an injury.
The 24-year-old was at Ibrox to watch Rangers’s 1-1 draw with Jagiellonia Bialystok, but will now return to the Dutch champions.
Driouech, who predominantly plays on the left, scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 40 appearances last season.
However, he was often used as a substitute, starting just once in PSV’s eight Champions League outings and coming off the bench 24 times in the Eredivisie.
Rangers have signed nine players over the summer and chairman Andrew Cavenagh said on Monday he expected “three to five more” while “a number will possibly go out”, with midfielder Mohamed Diomande sold to Turkish club Corum on Wednesday.
Having come through the youth ranks at Heerenveen, Driouech rose to prominence with Excelsior, making 101 appearances and scoring 16 goals before his high-profile transfer to PSV in the summer of 2024.
Known for his quick feet, speed, precise finishing and ability to play on both wings, Haarlem-born Driouech had the choice of also representing France and the Netherlands but was part of the Morocco squad that won the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations in 2023.
