A move away from Rangers for Super Eagles striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, is growing faint as a potential suitor has financial problems in making a bid, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the start of last season, the ex-Cremonese man has been leading the line at Ibrox, but his proficiency in front of goal has largely been a story of highs and lows. On some days, the Nigerian was deadly efficient, and on other days, he simply didn\u2019t know where the goal was.<\/p>\n

Since November 10, Dessers has started just one game for Philippe Clement\u2019s side, losing his place in the starting lineup to Moroccan U-23 striker, Hamza Igamane, who has scored seven goals in nine starts for the Gers.<\/p>\n

While Rangers<\/a><\/strong> are looking to add another striker to the fold, they would be willing to let Dessers go if a suitable offer comes in.<\/p>\n

French Ligue 1 side, AS Saint-Etienne are keen on the services of the former Feyenoord striker, but it is unknown if the striker will want to join a relegation-threatened side.<\/p>\n

However, the chances of a deal being struck between Rangers and the French side for Dessers have reduced drastically. As per Rangers News<\/a><\/strong>, an exit for the Belgium-born Nigerian will only be possible if the French club frees up wages elsewhere in their squad this January.<\/p>\n

According to Foot 365<\/a><\/strong>, Dessers is one of six players being targeted by Saint Etienne for a move this month as they look to avoid demotion to the second tier of French Football. Due to their financial constraints, the ten-time Ligue 1 champions have to watch their spending and as such, have prioritized the signing of Rennes midfielder, Baptiste Santamaria on a loan deal, with the option to buy included.<\/p>\n

Dessers is 5th amongst Rangers\u2019s top earners, and might need to consider a wage-cut if he\u2019ll seek playing time with AS Saint-Etienne.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
