Rangers Eye Leeds United Man After Reported PL Exit: Could He Fix Their Goalscoring Problem? Rangers appear to be leading the race to sign Joel Piroe from Leeds United . The Scottish club’s manager, Danny Rohl, is clearly on the hunt for a new striker after that 3-2 loss to Motherwell on April 26, 2026.
Leeds have told the 26-year-old Dutch forward that he isn’t part of their Premier League plans anymore. Rangers look set to sign Joel Piroe from Leeds United this summer It’s been a tough season for him, with only two starts and just 218 minutes of top-flight football under his belt. Even though he bagged 19 goals during Leeds’ promotion run last year, Piroe hasn’t scored once in the Premier League; his only goal this term came in the FA Cup.
A big factor here is the link between the two clubs; they share the same owners, 49ers Enterprises, and Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe has a major say at both. That connection reportedly gives Rangers the upper hand over other interested clubs like Middlesbrough. Could Piroe actually fix Rangers’ goalscoring problems?
