Ligue 1 and Premier League giants battle for Hamza Igamane

Hamza Igamane is attracting significant attention across Europe this summer after a standout season in Scotland. Several top Ligue 1 and Premier League clubs are vying to secure the services of the Moroccan sensation from Glasgow Rangers.

The young Moroccan talent is currently one of the most sought-after players of this summer transfer window. At just 22 years old, Hamza Igamane has emerged as one of Africa’s breakout stars in Europe this season. His versatility and impressive performances for Glasgow Rangers during the 2024/2025 campaign have caught the eye of many prestigious clubs.

From FAR Rabat to Glasgow: a meteoric rise

Regarded as one of the market’s gems, Hamza Igamane is coming off a brilliant 2024–2025 season in the colors of Glasgow Rangers. Having joined in July 2024 from FAR Rabat for around €3 million, Hamza Igamane made his first European experience truly memorable. With 16 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions for Rangers, he made a lasting impression in Scotland. Notably, he netted a brace and provided an assist in the Europa League victory over Nice, then scored a decisive goal in the derby against Celtic (3‑2). His exploits earned him two accolades: Young Player of the Season and Goal of the Season in the Scottish Premiership.

These qualities, coupled with remarkable maturity for his age, explain the growing interest from European clubs. Today, seven clubs have openly positioned themselves. In France, Lens, Lille, Rennes, and Strasbourg have made him a top priority. In England, Everton, West Ham, and Brentford are ramping up their pursuit to outpace the competition. Will Rangers FC let go of their rising star? And if so, at what price? Stay tuned…
