Premier League trio battle Ligue 1 clubs to signing Rangers star Hamza Igamane after award-winning debut season in Scotland

Rangers striker Igamane has emerged as a hot transfer target after an impressive debut season in Scotland, scoring 16 goals across all competitions. A recent report by Foot Mercato reveals that Premier League trio Everton, West Ham and Brentford are battling it out with Ligue 1 sides like Lille, Rennes, Strasbourg and Lens to sign the Moroccan star.

Signed for just under €2.5 million in the summer transfer of 2024 from FAR Rabat, Igamane quickly adapted to life at Rangers and even earned a call-up to the Moroccan national team. His standout performances have caught attention across Europe and another summer move is a possibility, though Rangers will demand a hefty fee.

Igamane earned the Scottish Premiership’s Young Player of the Season award and scored the league’s Goal of the Season. The Temara-born striker quickly rose from a backup role behind Cyriel Dessers to become a regular starter, finishing the campaign with 16 goals and three assists in 46 appearances. His notable performances, including a brace and assist against Nice and a goal versus Tottenham in the Europa League, have attracted significant interest across Europe. In March 2025, he was rewarded with his first senior call-up for Morocco, debuting against Niger. Now just 22, he is being pursued by top clubs in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League, while scouts continue to highlight his excellent back-to-goal play, and composure.

With Rangers under no pressure to sell, suitors will need to meet a high valuation to land the Moroccan forward. The transfer battle is heating up, and a bidding war could break out as Premier League and Ligue 1 clubs push to finalise deals before preseason.
