The 22-year-old Moroccan forward has been the subject of strong interest from clubs in France after an impressive debut season in Glasgow saw him score 16 goals. Igamane joined Rangers for an initial £1. 7m last summer from AS FAR in his homeland after agreeing a five-year deal. Striker Hamza Igamane scored 16 goals for Rangers last season New Rangers manager Russell Martin is reshaping his squad this summer But it now looks increasingly likely that Rangers will cash-in after just one season and bank a hefty profit. Lille are understood to have already made contact with Igamane’s representatives and thrashed out personal terms, but Rangers are yet to receive a formal bid. The French side are in the market for a new striker to replace Canada international Jonathan David, who is being chased by several top clubs across Europe. They are keen to press ahead with a deal for Igamane and are expected to test the waters with an opening bid over the coming days. Rangers are under no obligation or pressure to sell, but sources have indicated that the Ibrox club will hold firm on their valuation and look for a fee of around £15m for the talented attacker. Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers is a target for AEK Athens Whilst they are not against the deal being structured with add-ons and a sell-on fee, Rangers would prefer the bulk of the fee paid up front in order to reinvest it into the playing squad. Despite agreeing personal terms with Igamane’s camp, Lille are unlikely to have it all their own way as Marseille have also registered an interest in taking him to France. Cyriel Dessers also remains a target for AEK Athens but the Greek side have thus far fallen a long way short of Rangers’ valuation. If Igamane is eventually sold, the financial boost would allow Russell Martin more freedom in his efforts to revamp the squad. It is understood that Dor Turgeman still features highly on a list of potential targets for a new striker, with Maccabi Tel Aviv likely to demand a fee of around £4m plus add-ons. Reports in Israel over recent days have claimed that Turgeman is keen on a move to Ibrox and has already expressed a desire to his current employers that he would like to leave as and when a bid is received.
