Lille 'trying to recruit' French World Cup winner alongside Rangers' Igamane

Lille are reportedly trying to sign Olivier Giroud. 

It comes amid their interest in Rangers forward Hamza Igamane

The Rangers Review revealed earlier today that the French club have made contact with the Moroccan, but that an official bid is yet to come to fruition. 

As they look to make up for the departure of top marksman Jonathan David, Lille are looking to sign Igamane, along with Giroud.

Indeed, footmercato.net reports that the club are trying to bring the 38-year-old, who currently plies his trade with Los Angeles FC, to northern France. 

Giroud won the World Cup with his country in 2018 and has had stints at Arsenal, Chelsea, and AC Milan. 

Igamane could soon partner up with the legendary number nine, should his respective move to Lille go through. 

Speaking to le360 sport in January, the 22-year-old outlined his future career ambitions: "Like any Moroccan footballer, my dream is to pull on the Morocco national team's shirt," said Igamane. 

"I equally want to help my club as much as possible. And, as a consequence, to play for a big club in Europe."
