Cyriel Dessers to Rangers transfer still ON as Italian claims shot down with striker keen on Ibrox switch

Cyriel Dessers remains keen on a move to Ibrox and is waiting for Rangers to make another offer.

Reports in Italy claimed the Nigerian international had turned down a switch to Ibrox. Sources close to all sides of the deal are adamant that is not the case. Dessers is very much keen on a move to Scotland and for the chance to play in the Champions League.

Rangers have already made multiple bids for the striker but have still to reach an agreement with Cremonese. The Ibrox side are expected to go back in for the 28-year-old but won’t be rushed into a deal. They have made several six figure bids but Cremonese, despite their relegation from Serie A, want more than the £6.5million they paid to get him from Genk last summer. Dessers - who is a long-term target - has been aware of Rangers’ interest for some time.
