Sam Lammers suitors priced out of race for Rangers forward as rival transfer is confirmed

 

According to Voetbal Zone, FC Utrecht has signed Noah Ohio after being priced out of a trade to bring back Sam Lammers from the Rangers.

After the Light Blues front scored 11 goals during his half-season loan from the Eredivisie last season, the Dutch media revealed on their website on July 8 that coach Ron Jans would have loved to have the forward return.

The 21-year-old Ohio, a former Hull City loanee, has officially announced his arrival at Standard Liege after 27-year-old proved to be “financially unfeasible” this summer, according to technical director Jordy Zuidam.

According to Rangers Review on May 29, Rangers is reportedly aiming to turn a return on the £3.5 million [Daily Record] they paid last year. Interestingly, Ohio was far less expensive at €1.5 million [£1.27 million], and numerous teams are reportedly interested as well.

FC Utrecht purchases a Hull City loanee for too much money from Rangers

It was believed to be a long shot for Utrecht to sign Lammers to a long-term contract following his incredible loan stint with the team.

Nevertheless, the Ibrox hierarchy’s hopes of selling him for a respectable price and eliminating the most obvious possible buyer are dashed.

According to Stevie Clifford via Rangers Review on July 8, the club is so eager to move on from the Dutchman that he has been forced to train with the B Team.

But since it’s obvious that Philippe Clement has no need for him, it’s a buyer’s market, which would discourage teams like FC Twente from making a serious offer.

Despite scoring 22 goals as the team’s best striker last season, Cyriel Dessers may be traded this summer due to increased interest, even though he greatly outperformed Lammers’ meager contribution of only two goals [Chris Jack, July 3].

Kris Boyd believes that Danilo’s injury comeback will be important for the upcoming season, and Hamza Igamane is a very highly regarded young attacking alternative [Scottish Sun, 5 July].

But after inheriting Michael Beale’s purchases, it appears that Clement mostly wants to bring in his own people. That gets more challenging if he lacks the funding or the space because the current members are still obligated to the club.

Another first-team star is scheduled to leave the Rangers permanently, and a medical clearance is now anticipated.
