Official: Rangers FC secure signing of Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers

The Super Eagles star has been heavily linked with a move away from Cremonese after the club faced relegation to Serie B

Rangers FC have announced the acquisition of 28-year-old striker Cyriel Dessers ahead of the 2023/24 season, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigerian international becomes manager Michael Beale’s sixth summer transfer window signing, adding valuable experience to the squad.

Dessers, born in Belgium, brings a wealth of knowledge gained from playing in top leagues across Europe. Last season, he showcased his skills in Serie A for U.S Cremonese and has also had stints in the Belgian Pro-League with OH Leuven, Lokeren, and Genk.

Additionally, he has experienced Dutch football at the highest level with Utrecht, Heracles Almelo, and Feyenoord.

During his time at Feyenoord in the 2021/22 season, Dessers earned the prestigious title of top goalscorer in the UEFA Europa Conference League, netting an impressive 10 goals. His outstanding performances earned him a place in the competition’s team of the season.

Expressing his excitement upon joining Rangers, Dessers said, “I am really happy, it is a big relief to finally be here. There have been some long days and some stressful days, but it is a great feeling to finally be here. The history of the club, the fans, the stadium, it’s massive but next to that I look at what is here at this moment. I had really good talks with Michael Beale about his plans, the ideas of what he wants on and off the pitch, and I thought that could be a really good fit for me and for the team, so I am happy to be here.”

Manager Michael Beale expressed his delight at securing Dessers’ signature, stating, “We are delighted to have Cyriel joining our club. He brings a lot of experience from playing in Holland, Belgium, and Italy, as well as in European competitions. We were looking for a very specific profile, and we believe that Cyriel will give us a variety of qualities both in and out of possession.”

Beale also highlighted Dessers’ alignment with the team’s style of play and the positive impact he will have on the squad. “At 28-years-old, he is at a good age and will bring personality and leadership to our team. Cyriel pushed extremely hard to make this transfer a reality and showed a huge desire to come here. We are very happy to have him and his family joining us at Rangers. He is an excellent addition to our squad, and I look forward to working with him closely over the coming seasons.”

Rangers FC supporters eagerly anticipate witnessing Dessers’ skills on the pitch as he contributes to the team’s pursuit of success in domestic and European competitions.
