Rangers Eye Leeds United Man After Reported PL Exit: Could He Fix Their Goalscoring Problem?

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has already given the move his blessing. Speaking on talkSPORT Bet Casino, he mentioned that Piroe has the quality to do well in Scotland and should handle the transition easily. McCoist admitted the Premier League spell didn’t go to plan but insisted the Suriname international still has plenty of talent.

While that’s a strong endorsement, the real question is whether Piroe is a genuine upgrade or just an easy deal because of the 49ers’ ownership setup. His time in the Premier League showed he struggled against elite defenders, which is fair enough, but Rangers need a player who delivers week in, week out, not just someone who looks good in the Championship.

His movement and finishing are definitely his best traits, and he’d likely get a lot more space in the Scottish Premiership. Still, Piroe’s inconsistency and the fact that he needs the right matchup to thrive are worrying. The deal makes total sense financially, but Rohl has to make sure it works on the pitch too.

If Piroe can find his feet away from the pressure of the top flight, this could be a smart bit of business. However, with players like Nico Raskin attracting interest as their contracts run down, Rangers have a lot more to figure out this summer than just finding a new number nine.
