Rangers have signed Nigeria striker Cyriel Dessers from Cremonese for an undisclosed fee.

The Belgium-born 28-year-old, who has four international caps, has signed a four-year deal with the Scottish Premiership club.

Dessers joined the Italian outfit from Genk in August after scoring three goals in his final two games in the Belgian top flight and went on to score seven times in 29 appearances last season in Italy’s Serie A.

Dessers started his career with Belgian clubs Leuven and Lokeren before moving to the Netherlands with Breda, Utrecht and Heracles Almelo then returning to the land of his birth with Genk in 2020.

Having failed to become a regular starter, he was loaned to Feyenoord.

Despite 24 of his 42 appearances coming from the bench, Dessers scored 20 goals, including 10 in the Europa Conference League, but the Dutch club decided against exercising an option to buy.

The striker said it is “a big relief to finally” join Rangers.
