Rangers have agreed a £3.5m deal with Atalanta which should make Sam Lammers their latest summer signing.
The Light Blues have agreed a fee with the Italian side for their out-of-favour striker. The 26-year-old has spent recent seasons at Sampdoria, Empoli and Eintracht Frankfurt and was deemed surplus to requirements by coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
That opened the door for Rangers to make their move. The deal must be signed and sealed after a medical and Lammers’ return from rest. It shows Atalanta are getting a huge hit from the £9m they paid PSV Eindhoven to bring him back in 2020. Michael Beal believes he can inspire Lammers’ career and is also ready to bring him back into the No.10 role .
Rangers have already signed Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling and Kieran Dowell. The Light Blues are still in talks to sign Cyril Dessers from fellow Italian club Cremonese.
They believe they are close to agreeing a deal worth around £5m which will see Rangers sign a second striker. Beale also continues to hold talks with Nottingham Forest over a deal for defender Jonathan Panzo, while Rangers are also close to completing a deal to sign Ecuadorian midfielder Jose Cifuentes from Los Angeles FC. There are a number of players who could leave Ibrox with Finland international Glenn Kamara and Scott Wright among the players attracting interest.
