This summer, LOSC made a strong statement by signing Hamza Igamane, a Moroccan striker only 22 years old, still little known in France but already promising.
Arriving for a transfer fee estimated at over 10 million euros from Glasgow Rangers, Igamane quickly justified this trust with remarkable performances in his first Ligue 1 appearances.
Already the scorer of a brace in his debut match with Lille during an impressive 7-1 win against Lorient, Hamza Igamane shows a formidable profile. His record in Scotland, including a perfect hat-trick, a Young Player of the Year award, and the 2025 goal of the season with Rangers, demonstrates his steadily rising trajectory. His ability to score headers, with both right and left foot, makes him a complete offensive weapon that LOSC intends to fully exploit.
Statistically, Igamane stands out with exceptional offensive efficiency. Ranked among the best in Ligue 1 for xG (expected goals) with an average of 1.07 per match, he combines great shooting precision with a high volume of chances created. His profile confirms a modern, high-intensity striker capable of influencing all phases of offensive play. This performance is even more impressive given that clubs like OM and OL failed to attract this talent, leaving the two French football giants « crying » over such a signing.
With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Hamza Igamane’s progress with Morocco and LOSC is closely monitored. His explosive profile, young age, and immediate impact in Ligue 1 suggest a promising international career. For Lille, he is a true gem who could make a significant impact on both the national and European stages in the coming years, confirming that their strategic choice this summer was a winning one.
