Rangers are already looking to sign another player after Kelly – Sky Sports.
According to Sky Sports, Hamza Igamane is “close” to finalizing his move to Rangers following the announcement of Liam Kelly’s signing. There are rumors that the Bears are getting close to signing Igamane from AS Far Rabat in his native Morocco.
Igamane has been connected to a move for a number of weeks, and as Philippe Clement restructures the current team, the Belgian has made him a top transfer target. Igamane’s possible inclusion in Morocco’s Olympic squad raised questions about his availability throughout preseason, but the Gers persisted in their pursuit of his signature [Daily Record, June 17].
With Kelly being their sixth new addition of the summer, Clement’s squad rebuilding at Ibrox is already well on with the Hamza Igamane trade starting the movement of Rangers forwards.
The first striker through the door would be Igamane, hot on the goalkeeper’s coattails. The next several weeks should see a lot of action in that area of the field.
Despite leading the Gers in goal scoring in his rookie campaign with 22, Cyriel Dessers’ future is uncertain as many analysts anticipate the team to bring in more offensive players to replace the Nigerian. Even if Igamane isn’t anticipated to step in for Dessers upfront on a weekly basis, they might have to take a chance on another striker due to a developing transfer to PAOK [Scottish Daily Mail, 26 June].
Tommy Conway and Lawrence Shankland have already been strongly connected, but Igamane will be hot on their trail, willing to seize his opportunity, regardless of who is selected to fill the number nine spot at Ibrox next season. [On June 18, Alan Hutton].
