Breaking News : Rangers have reached an agreement to sale £19k star for a cut price of £2.5m

As reports circulate about Utrecht loanee/Rangers flop Sam Lammers and a probable move to FC Twente,

the summer trade has come back into sharp focus.

Rangers paid a reported £3.5 million to recruit the 26-year-old from Serie A club Atalanta,

with Michael Beale playing Football Manager alongside a player he had long admired.

However, the deal backfired for the English manager, who was finally fired by the Ibrox club following a string of disappointing signings.

Philippe Clement, despite initially offering Sam Lammers first-team experience,

was likewise unable to extract the best from an intriguing player whose obvious skill is sometimes overshadowed by his anxieties.

Farmed out on loan to Utrecht, the striker’s short stint in the Netherlands is thought to be turning heads,

which is positive for Rangers as they attempt to lighten what appears to be a significant loss.

Sam Lammers linked with FC Twente.

There has been a lot of talk about unconfirmed’reports from the Netherlands’ tying Sam Lammers to FC Twente.

These claims soon appeared on the continent, saying that’reports in Scotland’ had broken the story.

In the often circular world of transfer reporting, throwaway comments, print media, podcasts,

or even post-match analysis can often serve as the foundation for stories.

Things can easily become lost in translation, especially without context.

For what it’s worth, these assertions appear to be based on comments made by Dutch journalist Leon ten Voorde on Tubantia’s De Ballen Verstand podcast.

As translated here, Ten Voorde revealed that both Sam Lammers and fellow Utrecht loanee Ryan Flamingo were FC Twente targets in the summer and could be on the club’s shortlist in the forthcoming window.

However, while an original source for these statements remains elusive to those who regurgitate them,

at least for the most part, the scenario does not change Sam Lammers’ transfer reality.

As it stands, the striker is poised to return to Rangers at the conclusion of the season,

with the Ibrox club thought to seek £2.5 million  to free the Dutchman from the final three years of his contract.

Rangers may use a summer transfer boost.

It’s just as well that Sam Lammers has impressed since returning to the Netherlands with Utrecht.

Jens Toornstra may have scored the game’s sole goal in a 1-0 victory over, you guessed it,

FC Twente at the weekend, but Sam Lammers led the line admirably.

Lammers, who has three assists and one goal in six Eredivisie games for Utrecht,

is enjoying a successful homecoming after previously playing for PSV and Heerenveen.

A return to Rangers is quite improbable, and Ibrox supporters will hope that by the summer,

the club has recouped as much of the £3.5 million invested for Lammers as possible.

Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen are tasked with making such signings history, and in the tight world of football transfers,

they’ll need all the money they can obtain.
