Rangers-linked duo tipped to become ‘amazing’ Ibrox success stories as club told they may have unearthed gems
The 20-year-old Kabadayi, who spent last season on loan in the German Bundesliga second division with fallen giants Schalke 04, would cost Rangers about £1 million. He scored four goals in 23 games during his loan term and is well regarded at the Allianz Arena. Igamane, 21, has spent his whole budding career with FAR Rabat in his hometown, as well as representing his country at the Under-23 level. A £1.5 million deal is nearing completion, and fans expect an official club announcement soon.
They could soon be joined by Bayern Munich winger Yusuf Kabadayi and Morocco youth international Hamza Igamane, both of whom have been regarded as promising young players with the potential to become crucial components of Clement’s new-look squad.
Hutton has offered his view on why the pair could prove to be huge success stories in Govan, while acknowledging that questions are still likely to be asked over whether they can handle the heat of playing in front of capacity crowds and at the top level in European football.
However, the former Light Blues and Scotland defender is confident that the Gers scouting team will have conducted considerable data study on the junior possibilities as Clement and recruitment manager Nils Koppen seek to reap the fruits of a big squad reconstruction. Regarding the potential of both players, Hutton told Football Insider: “The two of them, of course, are a little unknown. But, like everyone else, I’ve looked into what they’re all about and what they can provide the club. They’re young, and I’m sure the backroom staff has done their due investigation on them and believes they can help the squad.
“Look, there will always be questions; we don’t know if they can play at this level in front of 50-60,000 people every other week, let alone in the Champions League if they make it. But it is up to them to show that they can handle it. If so, they may be fantastic signings.”
