Rangers star Hamza Igamane ‘wanted by SEVEN clubs' across Europe as asking price ‘revealed'
It could be an EIGHT-figure profit A WANTED IGAMANE Rangers star Hamza Igamane 'wanted by SEVEN clubs' across Europe as asking price 'revealed' HAMZA IGAMANE is attracting new interest from France, with up to SEVEN clubs across Europe keen on the Rangers star. That's according to a report in France, which also lists the asking price the Ibrox club is reportedly demanding. Advertisement 1 Hamza Igamane celebrates his winner in the 3-2 win over Celtic in March Credit: Willie Vass Igamane, 22, only joined Gers last summer from FAR Rabat in his homeland of Morocco last summer. He cost the Light Blues £1.7million and is sure to net them a profit whenever he does leave. The forward took a while to impose himself on the starting XI under Philippe Clement but around the turn of the year was the main man up top. He dropped behind Cyriel Dessers in the pecking order once Barry Ferguson was named interim boss but still produced a stunning winner against Celtic in a 3-2 Old Firm derby victory at Parkhead. Advertisement Dessers is also the subject of transfer interest so while Rangers are in rebuild mode under Russell Martin, it's unlikely both of them would depart in the same window. According to Foot Mercato in France, Lens, Lille, Rennes and Strasbourg have joined Premier League side Everton in adding the striker to their wanted list. It's also said that Brentford and West Ham are keen on the player. Interestingly, Igamane could then feasibly end up replacing the ex-Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi, who has been outcast at Rennes. Advertisement It was reported back in March that La Liga outfit Sevilla were also exploring a potential swoop for Igamane. Sevilla baulked at the thought of a £10m transfer fee but according to Foot Mercato, the price has only gone up with Gers now demanding £12.7m for their young star. Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager The links with Everton go back months as well, with the Toffees being connected with him during the January transfer window. Everton are also believed to be keen on Gers midfielder Mohamed Diomande. Advertisement Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Hamza Igamane sparks Rangers transfer battle as EPL and French clubs line up bids as stellar price tag set
The Moroccan frontman only joined Gers for £1.7million last summer Rangers striker Hamza Igamane is reportedly the subject of interest from clubs in the Premier League and Ligue 1. The Morocco international enjoyed a productive first season at Ibrox following his £1.7milion move from FAR Rabat last summer, notching 16 times in 46 matches in all competitions. Those displays have helped the 22-year-old make the breakthrough at international level, with Igamane making his senior bow for Morocco in a World Cup qualifying victory against Niger back in March. But reports out of France claim that new Gers boss Russell Martin will have a fight on their hands to keep a hold of the frontman ahead of the new season. Foot Mercato state that Igamane is a target for seven clubs from the top tiers in England and France. They claim that Everton, West Ham and Brentford have been joined by Lens, Lille, Rennes and Strasbourg in the race to land the Ibrox ace. Lille are in the market for a new attacker following talisman Jonathan David's pending exit on a free transfer while Rennes may look for a replacement for Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi, who is said to be surplus to requirements after just six months with the Ligue 1 club. However, they add that Rangers are under no pressure to sell the forward and that an asking price of €15million (£12.7million) will have to be met to take Igamane away from Govan. Fellow Ibrox frontman Cyriel Dessers has also been linked with an exit this summer, with Greek outfit AEK keen on the Nigeria international. But Record Sport has learned that Rangers won't be willing to listen to any offers of less than £5million for the 30-year-old. Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell's transfer coffers are set to be given a boost after new Ibrox owners 49ers Enteprises pledged to pump £20million into the recruitment drive. We have also has revealed that talks over potential deals for Leicester City defender Conor Coady and Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman are ongoing.
