Rangers will be hoping to sell Sam Lammers this summer for a profit considering his recent form
As Philippe Clement looks to bolster his team and establish his authority in his first summer transfer window at the club, Glasgow Rangers could be in for a hectic summer of transfer activity.
The Belgian faces a daunting challenge ahead of him. In addition to the six players who are now leaving the Gers because their contracts are about to expire, a number of players will also need to be sold in order to raise transfer money.
Sam Lammers, who is currently playing well in the Eredivisie, is one player who may be leaving Glasgow after just six months.
Sam Lammers’s FC Utrecht profile In June 2023, the Dutchman signed with the Light Blues as Michael Beale looked to replace a number of forwards who had left the team the previous month. Lammers had plenty of credentials, having played in both the Eredivisie and Serie A, but his time in Glasgow was, to put it mildly, miserable.
Despite playing mostly as a number 10, Lammers only managed two goals in 31 games during the first half of the season. He relocated to Utrecht in January as it became evident that he wasn’t cut out for Scottish football. He has had far more luck in the Dutch top tier, scoring nine goals and dishing out three assists in just 15 games. This could pave the way for a permanent move back to his own country this summer.
For a player who appeared to be dead in the water only five months ago, Clement’s ability to turn a profit for the forward this summer could be an unexpected bonus.
Is it necessary for the manager to find a substitute and sign them? Or does he have someone on loan who could step in right away as a replacement? If so, please step up. Ianis Hagi. The Rangers stats for Ianis Hagi The Romanian playmaker was on loan at Deportivo Alaves for the full season, contributing just three goals. However, the main purpose of this short-term stint was to get the player back up to speed after a year-long knee injury sidelined him.
Hagi was praised as “an absolute dream to work with” by former manager Steven Gerrard. He was possibly at his best during the 2020–21 season, when the Light Blues won the league title for the first time in ten years and went undefeated for the full season.
The £25k-per-week wizard, who alternates between playing on the right wing and immediately behind the striker, contributed 23 goals to the Gers’ score in 46 games (eight goals and fifteen assists).
Furthermore, Hagi averaged one crucial pass per game in the Premiership and produced six major chances. This kind of imagination and goal-orientedness are exactly what Clement needs from his attacking midfield player.
Hagi might not be the long-term solution—especially considering how slowly he recovered from his injury—but Clement ought to give him an opportunity in the preseason to see if he can return to the form he showed in his first 18 months at Ibrox. The Gers might rapidly bolster their attacking ranks by giving Hagi another opportunity to shine, with Lammers possibly on his way out.
