West Ham about to make 'formal' transfer move for Rangers star as insider shares key factor raising eyebrows

A former scout has claimed that West Ham United are preparing to launch a bid for a key Rangers asset.

Russell Martin’s side will begin preparations for the new season next week after discovering their Premiership schedule. First up is a Champions League second round qualifier against Panathinaikos as they look to make their way to the lucrative league phase at UEFA’s top table.

Keeping key assets about for that charge will be key and one of them is Hamza Igamane. He arrived at the club last summer and the Moroccan has proven an excellent find after coming in from AF FAR, that despite inconsistent form, has shown his potential fully through goals like his winner against Celtic at Parkhead. Former West Ham United scout Mick Brown claims to have been informed his ex club are getting set for a bid but there are some doubts over his Premier League suitability.

Hamza Igamane Rangers exit to West Ham United

He told Football Insider: “West Ham are about make a formal move for Igamane. They’ve had scouts up there watching him and he’s one of the names on their radar. But I’m told they’re not convinced he’s ready to make the step up to the Premier League. He’s looked impressive for Rangers at times, but he’s playing in a side which finished 17 points short of Celtic, so it’s a difficult one to judge.

“They’ll be looking at the scouts’ reports and comparing him to other options. Then, it could depend on the price, whether the other options are available, whether they saw things they don’t like when they were watching him, all of this. We know Potter wants to sign a new forward, but whether he fits the bill is uncertain. The decision has to be made based on everything they know about him.”
