Rangers in £4.5m striker transfer drama as clock ticks on window

Rangers in £4.5m striker transfer drama as clock ticks on window

Rangers supporters have experienced something special this transfer window, and the most recent news regarding Cyriel Dessers only serves to reinforce that.

Though Philippe Clement is presently benching £35 million player Fabio Silva, he would have likely considered letting the 29-year-old

depart Ibrox at the beginning of January in order to free up cash to bolster his team.

Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sports Italia reports that the Rangers boss is currently confronted with that

exact conundrum as Serie A is apparently interested in Cyriel Dessers.

Rangers given Cyriel Dessers transfer dilemma

For those who are unfamiliar with the journalist who taught Fabrizio Romano everything he knows, this is a reliable source.

Although there are currently no indications of a bid or any communication, Dessers’ name appears to be brought up given that Verona

and Torino are both attributed with keeping an eye on him.

After only six goals in Serie A during his previous season with Cremonese, the £4.5 million summer signing

is already beginning to nearly repay his transfer value.

Since Philippe Clement arrived, the big Nigerian has looked sharper and is no longer the target for jeers, with three goals in three

games, those jeers are now fans singing his name after he scores.

Cyriel Dessers, with his winner against St Mirren, hit his 12^th Rangers goal – the same number managed

by Alfredo Morelos in his last season at the club.

This statistic isn’t to be used as a metric of success but there were plenty of fans who wanted El Bufalo to stay.

That he has barely kicked a ball since last season suggests the board got that one right.

However, what the correct decision is in this case is a very different story.

In order to sign Lawrence Shankland, would you sell Dessers?

Is Dessers not as good a player as Shankland?

Would it be risky to sell Cyriel Dessers at this time, given his present form, or could the Rangers be able to recoup more of their investment?

Nils Koppen and Philippe Clement have a few days to make decisions on all of these questions.
