West Ham eye promising Rangers forward as they look to kick off their transfer window.

While West Ham will not sell before they buy this Summer, the club are still trying their best to get a deal in place for when they have the means to make purchases.

Unfortunately, their limited cash flow means they can not go splashing out on big name players. Instead, they will need to try and find some hidden gems or secure some bargains in order to push on from an awful season.

According to the club’s former scout Mick Brown. they could be about to launch talks over Ranger’s Hamza Igamane.

“West Ham are about to make a formal move for Igamane,” he claimed to Football Insider. “They’ve had scouts up there watching him and he’s one of the names on their radar.”

“But I’m told they’re not convinced he’s ready to make the step up to the Premier League. He’s looked impressive for Rangers at times, but he’s playing in a side which finished 17 points short of Celtic, so it’s a difficult one to judge.”

“They’ll be looking at the scouts’ reports and comparing him to other options. Then, it could depend on the price, whether the other options are available, whether they saw things they don’t like when they were watching him, all of this.”

“We know Potter wants to sign a new forward, but whether he fits the bill is uncertain.”

It’s certainly a risky move, but he’s relatively young at 22-years-old, meaning he has plenty of time to grow. However, West Ham really can’t afford to play the waiting game.
