Cyriel Dessers stated that he had no desire to exit Rangers during the January transfer window, even in the face of interest from multiple clubs. There were expectations for Dessers to depart Ibrox last month after he lost his position to young striker Hamza Igamane. However, the Nigerian forward has since established a formidable partnership with the Moroccan player, netting six goals and providing one assist in his last five matches for the Light Blues. “To get the complete perspective, we need to consider everything, not just the end or what my agent mentioned. At the start of the month, I wasn’t getting much playing time.” “As a forward who had already scored a considerable number of goals, it’s natural to attract considerable attention,” Dessers stated in the Daily Record. “Several teams have reached out to my agent, inquiring about my situation, questioning whether there might be an opportunity for a transfer since I’m not getting much playing time.” “However, I have kept in contact and have spoken to Nils Koppen two or three times. We had excellent discussions about the circumstances, and now, three weeks later, I am very pleased to be here.” I didn’t want to depart or anything, but I felt the urge to compete. In recent weeks, I’ve been improving my performance, and so has the team. So, everything is going well. Clearly, the circumstances shifted in early January, so I don’t have any major uncertainties. “It’s expected that a striker who scores will attract interest, particularly considering my position at the start of January, but that changed by the end of the month, making the question less significant.” Written by Adeboye Amosu
