Rangers forward Cyril Dessers has heaped praise on Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin, describing him as a key asset for the Scottish club and predicting a successful future for him in European football.
Raskin’s Growing Influence at Rangers
Raskin, who has been instrumental in Rangers’ midfield this season, attracted interest from European clubs during the January transfer window.
Speaking to Sporza, Dessers acknowledged the young Belgian’s growing reputation, stating that his performances have made him a target for top sides.
“If he continues developing at this rate, he will naturally take the next big step in his career,” Dessers said. “For now, the team needs him, but when the time comes, he will have plenty of options.”
The Nigerian international believes Raskin’s displays, particularly in matches with Belgium’s national team, have enhanced his profile and will inevitably lead to interest from major clubs.
Dessers Sees Raskin Succeeding in a Major League
As a more experienced player, Dessers often discusses future career moves with Raskin. Drawing from his own time in Serie A, the Nigerian forward compared Raskin to players in similar roles at mid-table clubs in Europe’s top leagues, insisting that the Belgian is on par, if not better, than many of them.
“I have played in Italy, and I have seen midfielders in the same position who aren’t necessarily better than him,” Dessers remarked. “He has what it takes to thrive in a competitive league.”
Choosing the Right Move
While backing Raskin for a move to a bigger league, Dessers emphasized the importance of selecting the right club and competition that aligns with his style of play.
He suggested that a well-calculated decision could maximize the midfielder’s potential and ensure sustained success at the highest level.
With Raskin continuing to impress at Rangers, speculation over his future is set to grow, but for now, he remains a crucial figure in the club’s ambitions this season.
