Last month, Netherlands Transfer Watch reported Rangers’ Sam Lammers is expected to return to FC Utrecht after Philippe Clement’s side let him spend the second half of last season on loan at the Dutch club.

The striker starred for the Eredivisie side, managing 11 goals and three assists from 20 games.

A fresh report from Transfer Watch says Utrecht are finding it difficult to sign the 27-year-old because of his salary request and Rangers’ demands to sell him.

This could open the door for AZ Alkmaar to try and secure the Rangers player’s services this summer.

AZ Alkmaar have already sold Vaggelīs Paulidīs to Benfica for €18m and are in the market for a new striker. It’s claimed they have a ‘serious interest’ in the Rangers frontman, but he isn’t the only name on their list.

The report adds AZ Alkmaar have already held talks with several players, including the Dutchman.

Transfer Watch have made no mention of the fee requested by Philippe Clement’s side. AZ Alkmaar have funds from Paulidīs’ sale and it could help them convince Rangers, if they are keen to sign Lammers this summer.
