On Friday, August 29, 2025, LOSC Lille confirmed the signing of Hamza Igamane, a young Moroccan international forward, from Rangers FC. The 22-year-old player has committed to the French club for the next five seasons, until 2030, and will wear the number 29 jersey. This signing concludes a lengthy negotiation, estimated around 10 million euros, reflecting the importance of this transfer for the Dogues, who aim to strengthen their attack after Jonathan David’s departure.
Originally from Témara, Morocco, Hamza Igamane established himself as a promising talent during his time with AS FAR Rabat, where he scored 16 goals in 49 matches last season before joining Rangers in summer 2024. At the Scottish club, he made significant contributions, especially in the Europa League, scoring several important goals. However, conflicts with management and missed training sessions hastened his move to Lille, where he is expected to support Olivier Giroud and enhance the team’s offensive efficacy.
Internationally, Hamza debuted with the Moroccan national team in March 2025. His profile as a complete center-forward, combining physical strength and technical skill, makes him a strategic recruit for LOSC, which targets ambitious competitions in Ligue 1 and the Europa League this season. His rapid integration will be closely watched due to the key offensive role he must play, as Lille seeks to reduce reliance on the veteran Giroud, who is nearing the end of his career.
Hamza Igamane’s transfer fits LOSC’s strategy of youth and long-term planning. This promising player, with impressive statistics at only 22 years old, is expected to develop his potential in the demanding Ligue 1. Lille hopes to blend dynamism and experience to strengthen its attack and reclaim top positions in French and European football in the coming seasons.
