‘I’ve talked to my Rangers sources’ – Hamza Igamane could be leaving soon
Rangers star Hamza Igamane could leave Ibrox in a cut-price deal despite interest from multiple clubs this summer.
Football Insider revealed on 12 August Rangers are expecting to receive several offers for Igamane before the transfer window closes on 1 September.
The Scottish giants are believed to be demanding between £15-20million for the 22-year-old striker.
Rangers signed the Morocco international in a deal worth around £2.5million from AS FAR last summer.
Igamane registered 16 goals and three assists in 46 appearances last season, but he’s played just 66 minutes at the start of the new campaign under Russell Martin.
Rangers could agree £10m Hamza Igamane deal
This article contains exclusive comment from Keith Wyness, former Everton, Aston Villa and Aberdeen CEO.
Everton have been linked with Igamane alongside several other top clubs, but they have been put off by Rangers’ asking price.
Rangers Review reported on 18 August Ibrox chiefs have laughed off a “bizarre” bid from Lille for the striker, with the French club offering to sign him on loan without a fee included in the proposal.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness said: “I think Igamane could find a spot.
“I don’t think £15million is going to be where he’ll go, but I think there’ll be clubs that would be in the sort of the £10million mark or some sort of formula around there.
“He’s one that I think, when I’ve talked to my Rangers sources, they said ‘Look, he scored some worldies. He’s done well, but he’s not been consistent enough’.
“I think Russell wants consistency.
“I think he wants a really attacking, quick squad, and he wants that consistency of a finisher.
“So, I think that I’d expect Russell to go there.”
QPR and Oxford make moves to sign Rangers star
In terms of another potential exit, Football Insider revealed on 19 August Queens Park Rangers are battling to sign Ben Davies alongside Oxford United.
Both clubs have registered their interest in the 30-year-old, who is not considered part of Martin’s plans in a new-look side at Ibrox.
Davies spent last season on loan at Birmingham City, where he started 40 games across all competitions in their promotion-winning campaign.
