Rangers are poised to secure the signing of Joel Piroe from Leeds United. Following a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Motherwell on April 26, 2026, Rangers’ manager Danny Rohl is actively seeking a new striker. Leeds has informed the 26-year-old Dutch forward that he is no longer part of their Premier League plans.
Rangers Target Joel Piroe as Summer Signing from Leeds United
Piroe has faced challenges this season, starting in only two matches and totaling just 218 minutes of top-flight play. Despite scoring 19 goals during Leeds’ promotion campaign last year, he has yet to find the net in the Premier League this term, with his sole goal being in the FA Cup.
A significant factor influencing this potential transfer is the shared ownership of both clubs by 49ers Enterprises, with Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe playing a pivotal role at both organizations. This connection reportedly gives Rangers an advantage over other clubs, including Middlesbrough, that are also interested in the forward.
