Premier League clubs West Ham United and Brentford have emerged as leading contenders to sign Rangers’ Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane following his breakout season in Scotland.
The 22-year-old forward has attracted significant attention after netting 16 goals in his debut campaign with the Glasgow club, establishing himself as one of the Premiership’s most promising talents.
Igamane’s powerful physique and technical ability have made him particularly appealing to English clubs seeking dynamic attacking options.
West Ham view the Temara-born striker as potential competition for their frontline, while Brentford – anticipating the departure of Bryan Mbeumo – see him as a viable replacement to partner Yoane Wissa.
The Moroccan international’s adaptation to British football has been seamless since his €2.5 million move from AS FAR Rabat last summer.
His performances against elite opposition, including a standout display against Tottenham in European competition, have demonstrated his readiness for a higher level.
Rangers face a growing challenge to retain their prized asset, with Everton also reportedly monitoring the situation.
The Scottish club’s valuation of Igamane has risen substantially after he claimed both the Scottish Premiership’s Young Player of the Year award and Goal of the Season honor.
While no formal bids have been submitted, negotiations are expected to intensify as both London clubs look to strengthen their attacking options before the new campaign.
Igamane’s combination of physicality and technical quality makes him an attractive proposition for teams seeking cost-effective striking solutions in an inflated transfer market.
The striker’s international breakthrough with Morocco in March has further enhanced his reputation, with his cameo against Niger showcasing his immediate impact at senior level.
