Sky Sport Confirms Everton’s Move for Rangers Star as a Replacement for Calvert-Lewin in a Mouthwatering Transfer Deal

Everton Plot Move for Rangers Star Hamza Igamane as Calvert-Lewin Uncertainty Grows

Everton are eyeing a summer swoop for Rangers striker Hamza Igamane as David Moyes begins his rebuild at Goodison Park, with reports in France claiming the Toffees have “expressed interest” in the Moroccan forward following a breakout season in Scottish football.

According to Foot Mercato, Everton are among a number of clubs monitoring the 21-year-old, who has emerged as one of Rangers’ brightest talents since arriving from Morocco last summer in a €2.5 million (£2.1m) deal. Igamane has enjoyed a rapid ascent in Glasgow, finishing the season with 16 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions and claiming Rangers’ Young Player of the Year award.

Described by pundits and fans as “outrageous” after netting a dramatic late winner in the Old Firm clash at Celtic Park, Igamane’s performances have not gone unnoticed. The forward scored 11 goals in the Scottish Premiership and added four more in Rangers’ Europa League campaign, establishing himself as a key figure under Philippe Clement.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future at Everton increasingly uncertain and concerns over his injury record continuing to mount, Moyes is believed to be prioritising a young, high-potential striker to lead his attack. Igamane fits the bill — a physically strong, aggressive frontman with European experience and clear resale value.

Everton’s interest in the Moroccan comes amid a wider overhaul at the club. Moyes returned to Merseyside in January following a 12-year absence and guided the team from the brink of relegation to a 13th-place finish. That turnaround has earned him the trust of the board, with a sizeable transfer budget reportedly allocated for a summer rebuild.

Igamane’s numbers underline his growing influence. In league play alone, he ranked second in the Rangers squad for both goals (11) and shots per game (2.8), while also finishing second for dribbles per game (1.4). His creativity was equally notable, averaging 1.1 key passes per match and maintaining a solid 7.11 average match rating across the season.

While Everton are thought to be one of the early movers, Igamane’s performances have reportedly caught the eye of clubs across Europe. His “significant resale potential,” as described by Foot Mercato, will make him an attractive proposition for teams looking to invest in emerging talent — particularly those operating within the constraints of financial sustainability rules.

Whether Rangers would be willing to sell after just one season remains unclear, though a substantial offer could test their resolve. With interest mounting and Igamane’s stock continuing to rise, a transfer tug-of-war may well unfold in the weeks ahead.

Everton, though, appear intent on acting swiftly as Moyes looks to shape a squad capable of pushing into the top half of the Premier League next term. Igamane, with his blend of goals, flair, and untapped potential, could prove a shrewd addition — and a statement of intent from a club looking to turn the page under familiar leadership.
