Rangers forced to weigh January transfer decision as Celtic deal contributes in ‘bonafide’ Cyriel Dessers update
According to the Daily Record, Rangers now have to consider Cyriel Dessers’ departure against the dearth of offensive options
available at Ibrox right now.
On January 31, the newspaper stated on its website that the Italian teams Hellas Verona and Torino are showing “genuine” interest in the Nigerian attacker.
And in reaction, the former seem to have focused on the Gers striker after coming dangerously near to making a move for Adam Idah,
who is now on his way to Celtic; the Norwich man is now on his way to Parkhead on
a loan-to-buy agreement [Daily Record, 31 January].
However, with Fabio Silva on loan and Abdallah Sima, Danilo, and Kemar Roofe all sidelined at Ibrox due to injuries, it means that
“any deal to allow the 29-year-old to leave would be factored against the lack of attacking options at Rangers”
should a bid for Dessers be received.
His struggles since arriving from Italy are well documented but he appears to be stepping
up to the challenge of leading the line increasingly as his teammates are ruled out.
Sam Lammers’ loan exit to FC Utrecht earlier in the window was no such blow as his impact pales in comparison, but with 12 goals
and seven assists in all competitions now this season Dessers is perhaps now getting there.
Although he is not yet clinical enough, Philippe Clement cannot possibly consider losing the only healthy number nine he has in the
squad with less than 48 hours till the window closes.
When the January transfer market started, having another striker to support him appeared like the most pressing requirement. While
Silva has come as an attacking alternative and a deal for Oscar Cortes.
