Scottish Premiership club Glasgow Rangers have announced the signing of Nigerian forward Cyriel Dessers.

Dessers, who joined the Gers from Serie A club Cremonese, signed a four-year contract.

The 28-year-old is the Rangers’ sixth signing of the summer.

Rangers paid €5 million plus €1.5 million in add-ons for the striker.

Speaking after signing for the Rangers, he said: “I am really happy; it is a big relief to finally be here. There have been some long days and some stressful days, but it is a great feeling to finally be here.

“The history of the club, the fans, the stadium—it’s massive, but next to that, I look at what is here at this moment. I had really good talks with Michael Beale about his plans and the ideas of what he wants on and off the pitch, and I thought that could be a really good fit for me and for the team, so I am happy to be here.”

Dessers spent one season at Cremonese, scoring seven times in 29 league appearances.

He was the top scorer in the UEFA Conference League with 10 goals two seasons ago.
