Hamza Igamane a Rennes transfer 'priority' as two Rangers striker deals vetoed amid Turgeman talks
The Moroccan has been the subject of interest from across Europe throughout the summer Stade Rennes have reportedly made Rangers striker Hamza Igamane a signing priority as they prepare for life without Arnaud Kalimuendo. Record Sport understands that Feyenoord are considering shattering their own transfer record by launching a big money move for the striker - while Lille have kept tables on the Morocco international throughout the summer. L'Equipe report that striker Kalimuendo has rejected a move to Leeds United - but the club remain in talks for a £20million sale to either Newcastle United or Brentford. Boss Habib Beye conceded earlier this week: "I have to anticipate certain things. If things change, we have to be able to see other solutions. "For now, Arnaud is a Stade Rennes player, whom I consider 100 per cent committed to this club, but I have to be able to anticipate in case something happens before the Marseille match (on Friday)." While Rangers' boss Russell Martin has stated there has been no bids for Igamane and expects him to ramp up his fitness against Alloa this weekend, Jeunes Footeux report that Rennes are considering an approach for the £15million-rated 22-year-old. But the French side are far from alone in the search for Igamane's signature with Moroccan outlet Le Matin stating that Marseille, Strasbourg, and Lens are also tracking a deal from Ligue 1. Everton, West Ham and Brentford are said to be keen to take the forward to the Premier League, while Borussia Monchengladbach and Udinese are also named as interested suitors. A departure for Igamane would leave Rangers in dire need of a new frontman with Cyriel Dessers facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knock in the Champions League qualifier with Viktoria Plzen. Westerlo striker Matija Frigan, however, looks to be off the table. Italian transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio has stated that the striker is set to seal a move to Parma with a medical already pencilled in. The England youth international - who was previously on Rangers' radar back in 2022 - only made the move to St Mary's last summer in a £15million move from Aston Villa but struggled with the club in the Premier League last season. But new boss Will Still has shown his faith in the forward - giving him his first start of the season in the EFL Cup against Northampton Town. On Archer, he said: "He needs to go back to doing what he's good at. "He needs to go back to getting in behind and being in the box because the threat of his pace and movement is going to be important for us. "It's about giving him a bit of freedom and a bit of confidence to go and do that and get into the areas where he can finish actions off. That is what we need him for." Maccabi Tel Aviv star Dor Turgeman has been on the shortlist of targets this summer. over an exit clear with the Scottish Premiership named as his preferred destination - but there has been little movement in recent weeks. But the Light Blues might have to move quickly to break the stalemate. One report that MLS side New England Revolution have "offered" £2.6million - which has been rejected. It is claimed talks remain ongoing between the clubs with the report suggesting there is "some distance" between the valuations - but it is expected that Turgeman will leave the Israeli champions before the window closes. Revolution head coach Caleb Porter declared last week that transfer fees will not scare off his side: 'We don't have much cap, but we do have roster openings, and we have the potential to make moves."

Justin Rose explains why he snubbed LIV: ‘I felt like I had more to give'
Justin Rose has explained that an unwavering belief that he can still fulfil his boyhood dream of winning majors was behind his decision to turn down an offer from LIV Golf. Plenty of the Englishman's peers - including compatriots Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Paul Casey - took up lucrative offers from the Saudi-backed breakaway series, turning their back on the PGA Tour and limiting their participation in golf's biggest events. Rose was also subject to an offer three years ago, but declined a deal in order to continue to pursue a second major title. Another success to follow his 2013 US Open triumph is still to arrive yet the 45-year-old has continued to compete at the sharp end of leaderboards, finishing an agonising second to Rory McIlroy in a play-off at the Masters earlier this year. Having won the FedEx St Jude Championship last weekend, and sealed his place at the Ryder Cup in September, Rose has suggested that his competitive spirit remains undimmed as he targets more success late in his career. 'I had the opportunity and a lot of my friends have gone over there,' Rose told the No Laying Up podcast about LIV Golf. 'I harbour no ill feeling for guys who have made that decision at certain times in their career. 'I just felt like I had more to give myself. I felt like I needed to believe in the 12-year-old me that wanted to win major championships and chase my dreams. LIV didn't offer me that at all. 'It didn't offer me the opportunity to play in majors. I'm still not really guaranteed to be in majors for ever more – you have got to earn your way in this game. That's what I like about it. There is nothing given out here, you have got to earn everything, and I felt like I needed that challenge and that environment to keep pushing me. 'I didn't really have any business believing I could win a major again but I truly do believe I can have that Indian summer to my career. To me, that is way more valuable than, let's just say, putting a financial reward to it. It's my golfing dreams, it's the 12-year-old me. It's like having a rhetorical conversation with the 12-year-old me and trying to justify why I would make that move – he wouldn't have been too happy with it. 'With where I am trending, I am pretty happy with where I'm at and I think the dream is still alive.'
