Rangers expect to finalise a deal for Cyriel Dessers in the next 24 hours.
The Ibrox side have agreed a fee of around £4.5 million with add-ons with Cremonese. Dessers has also agreed personal terms on a four-year contract and was last night putting the finishing touches to his medical. If that gets the green light then the Nigerian international will become Michael Beale’s latest summer recruit.
Dessers has been on the Ibrox radar for some time and was their top signing target. Rangers have been scouting him since his time in Belgium with Genk and then on-loan at PSV Eindhoven. Beale has already signed Dujon Sterling, Kieron Dowell, Abdallah Sima and Jack Butland. The Rangers boss has vowed to strengthen his squad further. A deal is in place to sign Ecuadorian midfielder Jose Cifuentes although a fee with Los Angeles is unlikely to be thrashed out until later in the window.
