Rangers complete transfer signing of Sam Lammers from Atalanta

Rangers have completed the signing of Sam Lammers.

The striker has joined the Ibrox club on a four-year contract. 

The 26-year-old Dutchman has put pen to paper after securing his move from Atalanta in a transfer worth more than £3million. 

He arrives in Glasgow as Michael Beale's fourth signing of the summer, with Kieran Dowell, Dujon Sterling, and Jack Butland all in ahead of the new campaign.

On his move, Lammers commented: “I am really excited to join Rangers, my first impressions have all been good so I am even more excited for the season to start now. 

“I came in contact with the manager and he came over to see me in Italy, we had a good talk and he gave me a presentation about the club and about how I could fit in so ever since that moment I was excited for this project and to get here.

I already knew some things about Rangers, I know the history, I know it is a massive club in Scotland and also worldwide but it is always a good thing to have the personal side of it."

And Beale said:“Sam is a player I have been aware of for a number of years. I first knew him as a young player at PSV and have followed his career closely from afar and he excelled in Holland both in the Eredivisie and the under-21 national team. 

“Sam will give us great technical and tactical quality, being able to play in a variety of attacking positions as a number 10 or nine. He was the first player I met with as part of the planning for the new season and during our lengthy discussions, it was clear that we share the same ideas on football and on his personal development moving forward. He has a strong alignment to the other players in our squad. 

"Having recently turned 26, he brings a wealth of experience having already played in the top leagues in Holland, Germany and Italy. We are delighted he is joining us at Rangers and I’m looking forward to working closely with him.

“I am delighted with our progress so far in this summer transfer window. We have worked extremely well to recruit Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling, Kieran Dowell and Sam Lammers. We are ahead of schedule in our plans. 

“The coming weeks will see more trading both in and out of the squad as we prepare for the season ahead. We have key areas of focus and we are close to securing our targets in those positions.”
