According to French outlet Foot Sur 7, Rangers are hesitant about making a move for Pierre Ekwah from Saint-Etienne due to the €6m asking price. Both Rangers and Anderlecht are said to appreciate Pierre Ekwah's abilities, but both clubs are deterred by Saint-Etienne’s valuation. Rangers also explored a move for Pierre Ekwah in December and their admiration for him remains, although they must first reduce the difference with the asking price. It is also suggested that Saint-Etienne and the club's supporters want Pierre Ekwah to leave the club.

According to the Daily Record, Danny Rohl is hoping to make a number of new signings at Rangers in the New Year. Pierre Ekwah is reportedly among the players being considered by him.

Rangers are among several teams interested in signing French and Ghanaian midfielder Pierre Ekwah, who has terminated his contract with Saint Etienne. The 23-year-old, who was tentatively linked with Celtic earlier in the year, joined the French club permanently from Sunderland last summer for €7 million but was unhappy about playing in the second tier following their relegation. Rangers, Serie A team Udinese, and an unnamed third club are all monitoring the player's situation as he remains on furlough while legal issues concerning his contract are settled. Ekwah has five caps for the France U20 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m.
