Cyriel Dessers could become the next Nigerian forward in Ligue 1, as he is of keen interest to French side St. Etienne.
The 30-year-old is something of a journeyman, with a career that has taken him to nine clubs in four countries. He currently plies his trade in Rangers, and St. Etienne, trying to avoid the drop, are keen on recruiting the former OH Leuven man.

‘We should be patient’ - Eguavoen explains why he chose Iheanacho, Sadiq over Dessers, Akpom
Augustine Eguavoen has given an explanation for his decision to select Sadiq Umar and Kelechi Iheanacho above other Nigerian forwards.
The details
According to a report from French outlet La Republican Sportif, Desser's name is generating buzz in the country as the January transfer window approaches.
The Nigeria international has been with Rangers since 2023, and while he was the main man last campaign, scoring 16 goals in 35 league appearances, the presence of Moroccan ace Hamza Igamane has caused his game time to reduce in the past few weeks.

The Ligue 1 side, ASSE, currently 16th in the division, a relegation place, and looking to avoid the drop, are said to be attentive to this situation and could make a move for the Dutch-Nigerian next month.
Dessers is expected to cost around €4 million, a sizable fee for a club that size, given Ligue 1’s financial reality, but Les Verts are willing to make the investment, according to the report.
