Nigeria’s Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers, linked with a potential move away from Rangers, showcased his prowess in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Union Berlin. The 29-year-old striker scored twice, reinforcing his value despite ongoing transfer rumors.
Dessers, who impressed during his debut season with Rangers by scoring 22 goals and providing 9 assists, reminded fans of his capabilities in this high-scoring friendly. With Rangers and other European clubs keeping a close eye on him, his recent performance is a testament to his skills.
In the 4-4 encounter, Dessers scored his first goal to equalize the match at 2-2, calmly taking the ball around the goalkeeper and finishing neatly. He added another goal in the second half, again showcasing his composure by receiving a long ball, creating space, and scoring.
Despite Dessers’ efforts, Rangers could not secure a win, but his display will likely boost his reputation and attract interest from other clubs. Rangers have reportedly set a €5 million price tag on Dessers, highlighting his significance to the team.
As the Scottish Premiership season approaches, Dessers will aim to build on his impressive showing and continue his strong form for Rangers.
