Lille are reportedly “struggling” in their bid to land Hamza Igamane<\/a> from Rangers this summer – with Everton among the new suitors showing interest.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Premiership side are standing firm on their \u00a315million valuation of the striker amid ongoing talks with Ligue 1 side.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old impressed in his debut Ibrox campaign – netting 16 goals for the Light Blues after a \u00a31.7m move from AS FAR last summer.<\/p>\n

That has sparked discussions with the Lille side over a potential move with the Moroccan international already agreeing personal terms over a move.<\/p>\n

But Rangers<\/a> new owners 49ers Enterprises<\/a> are determined to land a bumper profit in the 22-year-old with the Glasgow giants holding out for a \u00a315m payday.<\/p>\n

And Lille president Olivier Letang previously admitted the club were in no hurry to get a deal done<\/a> – but they could be beaten to a deal.<\/p>\n

Transfer guru Sacha Tavolieri claims the French club are “struggling in their negotiations” with the Light Blues.<\/p>\n

Feyenoord are the latest club to enter the race for Igamane’s signature with the club looking to add more firepower following Zepiqueno Redmond’s departure for Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Everton – who have been long-term admirers of the frontman – are also said to have made an enquiry alongside Italian side Udinese.<\/p>\n

Reports in January suggested that Toffees’ boss David Moyes <\/a>likes the player and had been keen to make a swoop in the winter window.<\/p>\n

Igamane made his first appearance of pre-season under Russell Martin<\/a> during the closed-door clash with Hamilton Accies – coming on for the second half replacing Danilo ahead of the crucial Champions League qualifying first leg against Panathinaikos next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
