Expert: Rangers would accept 'huge' offer for Ibrox 22-yr-old

Yesterday at 06:45 AM

Rangers will accept “huge” offers for Hamza Igamane as they plan to make a significant profit on his sale amid growing interest.

This is according to former Man United chief scout and Sir Alex Ferguson number two Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that clubs are keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old.

While a move is not expected to take place before the 3 February deadline, Rangers are braced for offers to arrive come the end of the season.

Under the guidance of Nils Koppen, the Glasgow side have implemented a new plan to buy young players, develop them at Ibrox, and sell them for large profits.

That process will allow the club to strengthen their financial position long-term, while adding quality to their squad in the meantime.

Igamane could represent the first example of their plan bearing fruit, with Premier League clubs keeping an eye on his progress just six months after his £2.5million move from AS Far Rabat.

The forward has scored 13 goals and provided three assists in just 17 starts across all competitions this season and has quickly established himself as a key player under Clement.

Brown, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, insisted clubs will continue to monitor his progress before making a move, a “huge” bid may prove difficult to turn down.

“Rangers would have to listen to offers for him,” he told Football Insider.

“Their position, financially, means they’ll listen to offers for all of their players.

“If a huge bid came in, I’m not sure they’d be able to turn it down because that would help them make a profit on a player they got on the cheap.

“At the moment, I don’t know if any Premier League clubs would make a move for him because the jump in quality from Scotland is a big one.

“He needs to develop his game and become more consistent in Scotland, where Rangers have had a nightmare this season.

“They can step up for the big stage, playing Celtic or Man United, but if you’re not doing it week in, week out in Scotland, you won’t do it in the Premier League.

“When I’ve seen Igamane play, I’ve been impressed. He’s definitely got something about him.

“I won’t be the only one to have seen it, I’m sure there are clubs watching him closely.

“But he needs to take his game to another level before I think clubs from England will make a move, so I would be surprised if that happened this month.

“If he keeps performing until the end of the season, then perhaps there will be some movement.”
