Rangers' Igamane plays Lille waiting game as priority named

The French giants still hold an interest in the Gers striker but are reportedly looking to get a deal for Vivaldo Semedo over the line first. Their interest in former Arsenal and Chelsea star Giroud was widely reported at the same time as the news broke they were looking at Igamane, as they tried to replace Jonathan David. The France World Cup winner has since signed and L'Equipe is now claiming Lille are also looking to add 20-year-old Udinese forward Vivaldo Semedo. In fact, is is stated that a deal is very close to take him to France for €3 million. Read more: The report states that they are making a move for Semedo "while waiting for the Hamza Igamane situation to resolve." The Ligue 1 outfit will have to pay substantially more than that for Igamane with Rangers said to be holding out for £15m, a year after signing him for just £1.7m. And it is believed the pursuit of Semedo is "independent" of Igamane and won't impact on their attempts to sign the Moroccan, who may have to come later. After a season of not being a regular at Ibrox, he would then have to compete with his fellow new arrivals for game time.
