Sam Lammers has an outstanding CV in terms of the clubs he has played for but his recent record in front of goal has concerned some Rangers fans.
At a reported £3.5m fee, the former Netherlands youth international has the pedigree to be a success in Light Blue.
With Malik Tillman unlikely to return, Sam Lammers, as shown by a pre-season clip on Rangers Twitter, could be the surprise star of Michael Beale’s new look side.
It’s not gone unnoticed how many tall players the Gers gaffer has signed.
Lammers has a touch of the Brian Laudrup’s about him in how he moves for a big player, surprisingly quick and with great feet.
Laudrup also arrived having suffered a personal dip in form in Italy.
Michael Beale confirmed that the 26-year old has been brought in to play mainly as a number ten and the training clips already suggest that he could be the missing link in Rangers front three.
Sam Lammers makes sets early marker for Rangers
Tillman brought goals and assists but Lammers looks like an even better fit in terms of his comfort in wide positions too.
For a player who hasn’t scored many goals recently – six in his last three seasons – one moment of magic in training suggests that he has found his feet.
Anyone can look good in training, however, a goal that Thierry Henry or Dennis Bergkamp would be proud of us a great first impression for Lammers.
Ryan Kent frustrated as often as he made an impact and a lack of goals was always his downfall, if Lammers starts the season as he has pre-season, Rangers might have won a watch with the big Dutchman.
