‘We want to go far for him’: £3m striker sees club look to break budget for Rangers transfer.
It will be difficult for Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen to recoup their investment from Rangers players who will not be joining the team in the future.
Sam Lammers is one player on the team that fits into this category, despite having a fantastic loan stint in the Eredivisie, when he scored 11 goals and three assists in 20 games for Utrecht.
A run of results that propelled the underdogs to the Champions League has made them eager to hold onto the Rangers striker, but it appears that they will face competition for his services.
Rangers given Sam Lammers encouragement with Twente interest
If FC Twente is unable to sign Wout Weghorst, they are reportedly monitoring Lammers’ status, according to Voetbal International, a Dutch media outlet. When questioned about going after the Gers playmaker, Arnold Bruggink, the technical director of Twente, played coy with VI.
At FC Twente, we also have a highly talented striker. Therefore, we don’t really need someone there right now.
By the time the European Championship concludes, things will resume as normal. “We’re not going crazy.” You almost feel bad for Utrecht, who ultimately made a wise choice by taking a chance on Sam Lammers when he was severely out of form and playing him at his more comfortable position of number nine.
Jordy Zuidam, Bruggink’s counterpart at Utrecht, has been far more transparent about what he wants from the transfer window: We want to go above and above for him because he is a crucial component of our team.
“Although it exceeds our capacity, we are currently seeking a resolution.”
Rangers hold all the cards in Sam Lammers transfer race
They are frantically trying to get Lammers to sign again. Rangers should be pursuing more or, at the at least, their money back after spending £3 million on Atalanta in the summer, given his performance in the Eredivisie.
The kind of cash that would be very helpful in covering the costs of someone like Lawrence Shankland or the recently connected Albertion Rrahmani, with whom Nils Koppen has already had discussions.
Rangers will want the money in as quickly as possible and the space freed up in the squad; they won’t want to wait for any teams to make bids later in the window.
It’s a remarkable comeback for a player that Michael Beale had high expectations for prior to his arrival, but who missed a number of significant opportunities that shown Lammers lacked the mental toughness to handle the demands of playing for the Rangers.
Should Rangers turn a profit on Sam Lammers, Nils Koppen ought to receive a boost in compensation.
I just don’t get the nasty campaing against Sam Lammars. It’s not out of place for Rangers to have strikers who only do theirJob score goals.look at Super Ally McCoist, Chris Boyd both took dogs abuse because all they did was score goals what they were bought to do but no pleasing some the first Couple of seasons for Ally must have been totally horendous the stick he took from what I call the Karen’s “he doesn’t do this he doesn’t do that all he does is score plenty of awesome goals he will never be good enough for rangers”Same with Chris Boyd”another goal Machine but all you got from the Karen’s all he does is score goals Hatley, Collin Steen. ” never be good enough for Rangers” So they buy Lammars as a number Nine and surely they new he was an out and out Striker goal scorer. So they played him out of position for over 140 games then decide not to even play him at Nine instead they loaned him out to a club who. First thing they did played him at Nine and fed him 11 goals in 11games. The word that’s all he was good at scoring Goals Were and when did I hear that before McCoist Chris Boyd Stein ect. Yet all I hear now is we need a striker a goal scorers “Dressers 22 goals not good enough for the Karen’s. Look what happened when they broke the bank?
