Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers is reportedly on the verge of a possible transfer to a Ligue 1 club this winter, following a shift in his role within the Scottish side.
The Nigerian international, who was a standout performer for Rangers last season, has seen his prominence diminish this campaign.
The rise of young Moroccan forward Hamza Igamane, who has made an impressive start to the season, has relegated Dessers to a secondary role in the team’s attacking plans.
Reports suggest that French Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Étienne have expressed a keen interest in acquiring the 30-year-old striker.
According to sources close to the player, Dessers is open to the move as he seeks a fresh opportunity to revive his career with a major team.
Rangers, meanwhile, appear ready to part ways with Dessers as they reshape their offensive lineup around emerging talent.
For Saint-Étienne, securing the services of an experienced forward like Dessers could bolster their attacking options as they navigate the challenges of the Ligue 1 season.
With the January transfer window approaching, the coming weeks will likely determine whether Dessers makes the switch to French football or explores other opportunities to reestablish himself at the top level.
