Rangers are being linked with a move for Saint-Étienne midfielder Pierre Ekwah as the Scottish Premiership side explore options to reinforce their defensive spine.
The 23-year-old, currently with Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne, is the subject of transfer speculation suggesting a switch to Ibrox could be under consideration. Data from transfer specialists lists the probability of the move only as “?”, underlining that discussions, if any, are at a very early and uncertain stage.
Ekwah, valued at about €3.00m, would represent a relatively modest outlay for Rangers if Saint-Étienne were to sanction a sale. His current deal in France is not publicly detailed in the data provided, raising the prospect that the timing of any approach could influence whether he is available for a fee now or potentially moves closer to free-agent status in future windows.
Born in Massy on 15 January 2002, the left-footed defensive midfielder holds both French and Ghanaian nationality. He has built a varied football education, progressing through INF Clairefontaine and FC Nantes in France before joining Chelsea’s youth ranks, then West Ham United’s U21 side and later Sunderland. That spell in England’s system, mainly in youth and Championship football, has given him experience in different styles and levels of competition.
Ekwah initially moved from Sunderland to Saint-Étienne on loan in August 2024 before returning to the English club and then going back to the French side again in August 2025, this time as a permanent transfer. His market value has fluctuated over the past few seasons, recently standing at €3.00m after peaking higher earlier in 2025, reflecting changing assessments of his form and potential.
While no agreement is in place and there are no indications of advanced talks, a move to Rangers would offer Ekwah a platform in European competition and at the top end of Scottish football, a step that could prove pivotal for his development and profile if the speculation eventually leads to a transfer.
