West Ham United are interested in Rangers forward Hamza Igamane ahead of the January transfer window, according to TBR Football.
The outlet reported [17 December] that the Hammers are one of many sides who have watched the 22-year-old this season.
The forward has had a stunning season since stepping into Philippe Clement’s starting line-up, with six goals in all competitions to show for it, including four in the Europa League.
Gers team-mate Leon Balogun recently told BBC Sport that Igamane reminds him of Didier Drogba and described him as a “delightful” character.

The attacker has bundles of talent and, with his teammates making big comparisons to him and Premier League greats, it shows how much of an impact he is having at Ibrox this term.
The Hammers have had a poor season so far and, as a result, speculation continues to surround Julen Lopetegui’s future at the London Stadium.

Therefore, singing a player like Igamane would surely be hugely impactful for the East London outfit as they look to improve their squad.
That being said, David Sullivan’s side will have to fend off interest from the likes of Everton, Brentford and Newcastle United to secure his services, which could be a difficult ask in their current form.
Nevertheless, this shows how important the 22-year-old is and suggests there is a big future ahead of him in English football.
