Rangers may have pulled off one of the best pieces of transfer business in recent years with the signing of Hamza Igamane, a player who has rapidly emerged as a breakout star at Ibrox—and one who was reportedly on Chelsea’s radar before his move to Glasgow.
Signed from Moroccan side AS FAR Rabat in the summer of 2024 for a modest fee of around £2.5 million, the 21-year-old striker has been a revelation under manager Russell Martin. Igamane has already notched up 13 Premiership goals and 16 across all competitions, becoming a vital figure in Rangers’ attack and outshining more experienced forwards such as Cyriel Dessers and Václav Černý.
It’s not just his goal tally that has caught the eye—his intelligence on the ball, composure in front of goal, and relentless work ethic have made him a fan favourite. His performances have also sparked interest from clubs across Europe, with Ligue 1 sides Lille and Rennes, as well as Premier League scouts, said to be tracking him closely. Reports have even suggested that Chelsea were previously interested in the young Moroccan before Rangers made their move.
With his market value now estimated at around £15 million, Igamane’s development has made him a major asset for Rangers—one that could lead to a record sale if the club chooses to cash in. But for now, the focus is on continuing his fine form and leading the line in both domestic and European competitions.
In Igamane, Rangers haven’t just signed a promising youngster—they’ve uncovered a potential superstar. And with Chelsea’s interest in the background, it’s clear just how shrewd the Ibrox club’s recruitment has been.
