Rangers outcast who silenced Old Trafford with stunning goal 'told to find new club' as transfer exit looms
Dutch forward scored just two goals in 32 appearances during his time at Ibrox
Ex-Rangers flop Sam Lammers has been told he can leave FC Twente this summer with his replacement already lined up, according to reports.
The Dutch forward, who cost the Ibrox club £3.5m from Italian side Atalanta back in 2023, failed to hit the heights initially under Michael Beale in Glasgow, scoring just twice in 32 appearances.
Initially given a chance to prove his worth by Beale’s successor Philippe Clement, the 29-year-old was eventually frozen out of the first-team picture by the Belgian boss and subsequently joined Eredivisie side Utrecht on loan for the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.
Lammers enjoyed an incredible upturn in form in the Netherlands with his impressive conversion rate of 10 goals in 18 outings, which included a record-breaking scoring spree in nine straight matches, alerting several European clubs.
Utretcht expressed a burning desire to tie the attacker down permanently, but were priced out of doing so. He eventually put pen to paper with league rivals FC Twente, where he found the net on nine occasions in his debut season.
However, after struggling to maintain his prolific form in front of goal last term, De Telegraaf are now reporting that Lammers has been advised to find a new club.
Despite having a year left to run on his contract, Twente are said to want to cash in on the player and replace him with PSV Eindhoven's Jesper Uneken.
Rangers flop made headlines for Europa League heroics vs Manchester United
Should Lammers move on from Twente this summer, supporters will remember him fondly for his sensational goal scoring heroics against Manchester United in their Europa League clash at Old Trafford in September 2024.
With the hosts leading 1-0 through a Christian Eriksen strike, Lammers silenced the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ with a priceless goal that saw him capitalise on an error from Eriksen deep inside his own half before running through on goal and deceiving Andre Onana by sliding the ball home at his near post to spark wild celebrations.
