Cyriel Dessers transfer update as ‘long-time suitors still in for Rangers striker and move can't be ruled out'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CYRIEL DESSERS looked certain to leave Rangers earlier in the transfer window. But while it's all gone a little quiet, it's being reported that a move to Greece should NOT be ruled out. 2 Cyriel Dessers has regained his Rangers spot Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 The striker was injured against Viktoria Plzen Credit: Willie Vass Dessers, 30, was heavily linked with a move to Greek Super League outfit AEK Athens during the early weeks of the window. Several reports coming out of the country had it as good as a done deal, with a number claiming that personal terms had been agreed - but crucially that a fee between the clubs hadn't been. Speaking early last month, Rangers boss Russell Martin confirmed a bid had been received for Dessers but said it was "nowhere near out valuation at the football club." Martin didn't confirm whether AEK Athens were indeed the club to have made a move. Dessers was injured at the time of Martin's comments but has since recovered and regained his place in the Rangers side. He scored from the penalty spot in the 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen in Champions League qualifying a couple of weeks ago. Dessers started the second leg in midweek too but went off after suffering what appeared to be a nasty injury. He missed Saturday's Premier Sports Cup win over Alloa but Rangers hope he'll be ready to face Club Brugge on Tuesday. While exit talk surrounding Dessers has gone a little quiet, a fresh report claims that AEK Athens ARE still interested in signing the striker. Journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos says they're still in for him. Billy Dodds on turning down Celtic for Rangers and surviving relegation scare with Aberdeen His report in Greek outlet Sportime claims that 'everything is open' with regards the club's pursuit of Dessers - especially now that his injury suffered during the week isn't as bad as first feared. The report says AEK Athens 'still have a lot to do' in the transfer market and that bringing in a striker remains a priority. But for someone to be signed, it's claimed AEK will need to move someone on. The report adds that a move for Dessers 'should not be ruled out.' AEK Athens' interest in Dessers looked to be over when they landed a new striker earlier this month. They signed former Real Madrid frontman Luka Jovic on a permanent deal from AC Milan back on August 5. But it seems they COULD still be heading back in for Dessers after all.
