Sam Lammers Rangers transfer conundrum as £6.7m Spurs deal jolts Ibrox nerves
The future of Rangers striker Sam Lammers has come further under the microscope after comments made by Philippe Clement over the weekend.
The Dutch striker, 27, is expected to leave Ibrox after a £3.5m switch from Atalanta last summer failed to go to plan in Glasgow.
Eventually farmed out on loan to FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie, Sam Lammers netted 11 times back in the Netherlands and has been expected to return to his home country permanently.
But one team of reported suitors have now turned their attentions elsewhere as a £6.7m Premier League deal leaves Rangers scratching their heads over the ex-PSV star.
Eredivisie club skip Lammers
FC Utrecht were initially expected to return for Sam Lammers this summer.
But amid clashes with regards Lammers’ excessive wage demands, a deal failed to materialise.
The Dutch side would then strike deals for RKC Waalwijk striker David Min and Standard Liege forward Noah Ohio, ending their pursuit of the Rangers striker.
AZ Alkmaar then took over the role of would-be suitors, the £18m sale of Vangelis Pavlidis to Benfica both boosting the club’s transfer coffers and opening a space in the squad.
But now De Kaasboeren have opted to move elsewhere too.
AZ have completed a deal to bring Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrot from Tottenham Hotspur in a major statement of intent.
