Update News : DOES DAVID MIN’S SIGNING MEAN THAT RANGERS STRIKER WILL NOT RETURN TO UTRECHT?
FC Utrecht began the month with confirming the signing of David Min from RKC Waalwijk. With 10 goals in 29 games, the 24-year-old striker helped the side avoid the relegation play-offs. He should undoubtedly help FC Utrecht, who have only one player in double figures. This was Sam Lammers, a Rangers loanee.
There had been reports that the club and Lammers were interested in reuniting next season. However, the striker did cost the Scottish club around €4m and it is unlikely that they will want to sell for much less than that. Min, on the other hand, will have been a far cheaper option. The striker only had one year left on his deal with his current club and is valued at €800k. This move could signal that Lammers will not be returning to the Cathedral city for the next Eredivisie season. Wages appear to be the main stumbling block for the club, who are said to still be keen on bringing him back and pairing him with Min.
Lammers’ future is uncertain. He struggled in Scotland, but returned to the Netherlands and appeared to restore his confidence. Perhaps a move to another Eredivisie team will happen over the summer.
