Cyriel Dessers set for Rangers medical as ‘significant’ Cremonese deal agreed
Cyriel Dessers is set to open talks with Rangers and have a medical after a fee was agreed with Cremonese, according to Daily Record.
Mail+ report (30 June) that the Gers are set to “clinch” a £4.5million deal for the 28-year-old Nigerian forward.
The Daily Record also suggest a “significant” seven-figure has been agreed upon and that Dessers is now set to open talks, have a medical and seal his move to Scotland.
Saga
A summer-long saga is now finally reaching its conclusion.
The Cremonese striker has been Michael Beale’s number-one target for the duration of the window. A physical presence is required to replace the outgoing Alfredo Morelos and Dessers fits the bill.
The Nigerian wasn’t prolific for the Serie A bottom-dwellers, but his reputation in Holland is good and he could adapt well to the Scottish Premiership.
A move could be concluded relatively quickly now. With the squad set to jet out to Germany, Beale will be desperate for the Nigerian to be amongst the squad.
One massive plus is the board have done the majority of their business early. The new signings will be able to settle in throughout the whole of the pre-season before the domestic season kicks off.
Departures will also have to occur in the coming weeks. The likes of Glen Kamara, Jon McLaughlin and Antonio Colak should all be concerned heading into the middle part of the window.
In other Rangers news, the club have now received a breakthrough in their pursuit to complete another summer signing as a key target will not be signing an extension.
