But it’s anticipated PSV’s £6m valuation will be met as Derek McInnes ramps up his summer recruitment drive.

Voetbal International report the forward is "open to a move to Scotland, where a long-term contract awaits him". It is claimed that Driouech's preference is for a switch to Scotland over Austria, and Rangers are now "leading the race" for his signature.
