Rangers might potentially cash in on Cyriel Dessers following his agent’s admission of a winter transfer.
The Nigerian striker’s representative recently disclosed that ten teams expressed interest in signing him before the February 3 deadline.
Philippe Clement had begun to lose faith in the 30-year-old following a bad start to the season, but the centre-forward has returned to the starting lineup in recent games.
Given Hamza Igamane’s recent troubles and Danilo’s fitness issues, the decision to keep Dessers until the end of the season made sense.
Rangers will cash in on Cyriel Desser.
Billy Dodds believes the Light Blues will be able to get a good deal for the former Cremonese star in the coming months.
The Scottish manager believes that, given all of the debate surrounding the Gers’ finances, the 30-year-old’s situation should be monitored.
Dodds believes Rangers were keeping an eye on the market for bids while the Nigerian star’s agent sought an exit strategy.
Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show (7 February), the 56-year-old said: “I think he’s one Rangers player who, given the club’s resources, would want a reasonable fee. I believe the Rangers were scouting the market, and I know his agency was too. That is why the ten teams showed up.”
Cyriel Dessers will be sold at Ibrox next summer.
Dessers appeared to be on his way out of Ibrox a few weeks ago, but some impressive performances have brought him back into Clement’s plans.
While the fans have booed the striker on occasion, it does not appear to have impacted his confidence.
Given the squad’s lack of number nines, fans will be relieved to see the Nigerian ace return to form.
Danilo’s injury has been frustrating because he had just begun to make an impression on the Bears after missing the first few games of the season.
Igamane’s breakthrough has been an obvious turning point in the Light Blues’ season, but the Moroccan ace appears to be under pressure recently after failing to make an impression.
The Glasgow club will undoubtedly hope that Dessers can maintain his form until the summer in order to enhance the asking price.
It will be intriguing to see what the future holds for the 30-year-old.
