New club join race for Hamza Igamane as Rangers striker eyed by wealthy owners

Another club has joined the queue for Rangers striker Hamza Igamane, according to a report in France.

Hamza Igamane's form for Gers exploded midway through the season after an initial settling in period and, as well as endearing him to supporters, that also put him on the radar of interested clubs.

Premier League giants such as Newcastle, Everton and Tottenham were all quoted after the Moroccan scored against the latter during a 1-1 draw in the Europa League.

The form of the 22-year-old dipped, and he appeared to struggle when played at left wing at times, but his quality is not in question and he has started to show it again in recent games, particularly with a beautiful goal in the win over Aberdeen.

Igamane was already on the radar in France with Marseille named as one of the club's interested.

But now Strasbourg are the latest to show an interest, according to French journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter.

He made a post on social media, which translates to: "Strasbourg is on all fronts. Red-hot scorching on the international Moroccan, none other than Hamza Igamane."

The Ligue 1 side are managed by Englishman Liam Rosenior and owned buy the same company as Chelsea, BlueCo. So they have deep pockets and Rangers would likely be demanding a hefty fee for their prized asset, for whom they paid just £1.7million a year ago.
