Journalist Reveals Everton’s Interest in Rangers Star Amid Double Transfer Pursuit.
Everton Have Explored Signing Rangers Striker Hamza Igamane During Winter Window, Says Graeme Bailey.
TBR Football journalist has revealed that Everton remain interested in Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane, who is being closely monitored by multiple Premier League clubs as the transfer window nears its close.
With Dwight McNeil sidelined due to injury, the Blues could also target a wide player.
However, David Moyes is reportedly keen on securing a couple of additions before the 3 February deadline, likely on loan deals.
Speaking to Everton News (27 January), Bailey said: “Igamane is a player of real interest to several Premier League clubs as the window closes. Everton still like him, and they’ve done work on him.
“It’s unclear if they’ll make a move, but Tottenham have joined the race for him, along with a host of other clubs.
He’s definitely one to watch in the final week of the window.
“McNeil’s injury hints at the need for a wide player, but Moyes and the club are trying. They’re looking for a couple of additions before the window shuts, most likely loans, but nothing is off the table.”
Hamza Igamane: A Perfect Fit for Everton
Igamane seems like an ideal signing for Everton, especially given their struggles with injuries and lack of goals this season.
Alongside McNeil’s absence, Dominic Calvert-Lewin sustained a knock during the 1-0 victory over Brighton on 25 January.
Although he has been the primary striker this season, his availability moving forward is uncertain.
Everton are also missing Armando Broja, who has faced recurring fitness issues, leaving Guinean forward Beto as the only natural striker in the squad.
Fans will hope Beto seizes this opportunity to prove himself in upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Igamane has been in excellent form in the Scottish Premiership, scoring nine goals in his last 11 appearances.
Will Everton make a decisive push for the 22-year-old? Time will tell.
