Rangers complete £2.5M signing of Sam Lammers from Atalanta

Rangers Sign Sam Lammers for £2.5M Deal

Rangers Football Club has announced the signing of Sam Lammers from Atalanta. The 26-year-old Dutch striker is the club’s latest summer signing following Kieran Dowell, Dujon Sterling, and Jack Butland. Sources confirm that Lammers has completed the finishing touches of his move and has signed a four-year contract with the club.

The Price and Profile of Sam Lammers

The price for Lammers’ transfer is confirmed at £2.5M, which is lower than initial speculations of a £4M move from other sources. He has been signed as a ‘paid-for’ capture and is expected to facilitate play as a target man in Rangers’ attacking style. Although Lammers is not viewed as a fruitful goal scorer, he has demonstrated historical capabilities of scoring goals, especially earlier in his career in Holland.

Lammers’ move to Atalanta did not work out as expected, and he did not suit Italian or German football for any of the other teams he played for on loan. As a result, he spent most of his time on the bench, including in the Europa League finals of his former team.

Rangers’ New Attacking Style

Lammers joins the Rangers squad as a strong hitman who will hold up play as a proper number nine ahead of him. He has been signed to facilitate play around him and as a powerful focal point that can drag defenders around. Manager Michael Beale sees Lammers as a crucial addition to his attacking style and hopes that he will fill the gap in the team’s forward line. Lammers will partner with Cyriel Dessers as the central man in the team’s attack, bringing in a new style up front.

Advice and Editorial

Lammers’ signing has brought some much-needed optimism to the Rangers fan base, who are excited to see how he links up with his fellow attackers. However, his history of being a benchwarmer may raise some eyebrows, and the new fans will want to keep an eye on his performance. However, Michael Beale’s success in the transfer window, signing three players without spending too much money, is commendable. This demonstrates the ability of the club to make high-quality signings without breaking the bank.

As the club prepares for post-pandemic football, the new players are likely to add a fresh dynamic to the team. The fans are hopeful that the new recruits will help the club continue its recent success in the upcoming football season.
