Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers has admitted that some of the speculations surrounding his future in the January transfer window were true, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dessers was the subject of a lot of transfer speculations during the winter transfer window. The exit talks came as the 29-year-old striker\u2019s game time at Rangers experienced a decline at the turn of the year as Hamza Igamane usurped him as the first-choice striker at the club.<\/p>\n Dessers was linked to Serie A and Ligue 1 clubs last summer, but the talks failed to materialize eventually.<\/p>\n The former Genk man has been in fine form recently, contributing five goals and two assists in his last five games for the Gers. And in a recent interview he admitted that he got offers in January, but he chose to stay at the club.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we look at the full picture because it\u2019s not only at the end or what my agent said obviously, at the beginning of the month I was not playing a lot,\u201d Dessers said, per Daily Record.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAs a striker that at that point was on double numbers already, then obviously there\u2019s a lot of interest.<\/p>\n \u201cTeams that call my agent and ask, \u2018He\u2019s not playing, is there something possible?\u2019 But I\u2019ve been in touch, I spoke I think two or three times with Nils Koppen.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had very good conversations about the situation and yeah, I\u2019m here now, three weeks later and I\u2019m very happy to be here. I didn\u2019t want to leave or anything, but I wanted to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dessers has been in fine form recently as stated earlier, and he has started to regain the confidence of coach Clement Philippe.<\/p>\n If he continues with his current form and Rangers win silverware before the end of the campaign, he could quickly become a fan favourite.<\/p>\n The Super Eagles star still has 29 months left on his current deal and if the status quo remains the same, he will likely stay until the end of his contract, or possibly get an extension.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/images-97.jpeg\")
