Despite the more than successful beginnings from the record holder of scorers in the French team (57 achievements in 137 selections), the Lille club decided to bet on a new advanced striker. By debaucing on the side of the Glasgow Rangers the Moroccan international Hamza Igamane.

Igamane, a real competitor for Giroud

Curtaining certainly to evolve on the wings, the 22-year-old is a pure center center and has just competed in Olivier Giroud in his hegemony. A completely reasonable option on the part of the DOGUES in view of the advanced age of the former Gunner (39 years on September 30) but not good news certainly for a competitor like Olivier Giroud.

There remains a well -felt investment for northerners. A deal estimated at around 10 million euros while Hamza Igamane, chips at AS Far Rabat for 2.4 million euros in the summer of 2024, was still linked to Rangers until June 2029.
