Sam Lammers, a Rangers forward under criticism, is expected to quit Ibrox this January after Philippe Clement benched him.
The 26-year-old attacker, who has alternated between playing striker and number 10 during his career, has had a terrible start to life at the team.
Sam Lammers, who was signed by Italian team Atalanta in the summer for an estimated £3.5 million, was praised by Michael Beale as a player with significant talent who had not yet reached its full potential.
However, concerns regarding the journeyman forward’s dismal results and statistics from the previous several seasons in Serie A, Serie B, and the Bundesliga have returned to haunt the team.
The Rangers leader does not trust Sam Lammers.
Now that Sam Lammers hasn’t been able to come off the bench in the last two games, there are rumors that Rangers and Philippe Clement may be considering a possible solution.
There are concerns at Ibrox because the Belgian manager chose not to approach the Dutchman when the team needed a goal at Celtic Park.
The fact that one of the team’s most expensive summer additions isn’t trusted to start and contribute against our immediate title rivals says volumes and raises the possibility that things are changing.
Todd Cantwell seems to be the chosen number ten for Ibrox boss Philippe Clement, however Kieran Dowell has also been preferred in recent games.
Ibrox is planning a new transfer investment.
Rangers’ January transfer activity is expected to pick up steam in the coming weeks, as the addition of Fabio Silva has already strengthened a front line that is in dire need of high-caliber funding.
The Wolves forward took a pay cut to sign a loan with Rangers, as Clement has explained. The Gers squad may be able to offset this expense by moving Sam Lammers out on a similar contract in January.
Sam Lammers is accustomed to it, having had brief periods at Eintracht Frankfurt, Sampdoria, and Empoli in the previous campaign.
In terms of value for money, the forward might rank among Rangers’ worst acquisitions ever, and Atalanta is probably giggling all the way to the bank at having recovered such a high cost for the unproductive frontman.
