The Hamza Igamane transfer fee Rangers 'couldn't turn down'

Alan Hutton reckons it would take a £20m transfer fee for Rangers to sell Hamza Igamane.

The former Ibrox full-back believes a bid in the region of that figure would be something Rangers "couldn't turn down".

Hutton is a big believer in the Moroccan forward and reckons he has what it takes to go to the next level - even if he is not ready-made for the Premier League just yet.

But, the pundit is hopeful Igamane still has a few years left as a Rangers player before any potential transfer trajectory.

Rangers would be in a strong position for any transfer negotiations with Igamane signing a five-year deal when he checked in at Ibrox. He was signed for a fee of £1.7m.

Hutton, who was speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest football odds, said: "Is Hamza Igamane ready for the Premier League? He’s probably not ready to go down to the Premier League and be a regular starter, but I think at his age what he's shown so far is he's got the technical ability, he's improving week by week and I think when you go down there, no disrespect to Rangers, but you're playing around probably better players and playing against better players you're going to become better yourself. 

"So I think he's got everything that it takes to get to the next level. If there is a bid of around £20m I think that's something Rangers couldn't turn down. 

"They've not been great in the past in terms of when players maybe hit their ceiling in terms of value, they've not sold them on.

"I don't want to see him leave because I think he is a very good player and he's going to get better. But if they get a fee in that kind of region of £20m, I think they would have to take it."
