RANGERS have received an official transfer approach from a European club for Cyriel Dessers, it’s being claimed.
The Nigerian hitman, 30, is set to weigh up his future at Ibrox following the arrival of new boss Russell Martin last week.

Dessers scored 29 goals for Rangers last term but has still yet to win over Gers fans with his displays.
And the striker could leave the club before the start of next season as at least one club is reportedly on his trail.
Greek journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos claims Rangers are in talks with AEK Athens over a potential deal for the striker.
AEK have been long-time admirers of the striker who moved to Glasgow in the summer of 2023.

We told you last month how the Light Blues were bracing themselves for bids for the striker who still has two years left on his contract.
The Greek outfit could face serious competition for his signature, though, as several clubs were understood to be chasing him in January.
His agent even suggested the striker had offers from TEN different teams during the winter window, but he decided to stay at Ibrox.
Rangers spent around £4.5million to bring the hitman to Glasgow two years ago.
Since then he’s scored 51 goals for the club and was the Premiership’s top scorer last season with 19 goals in the league.
But he still manages to split the opinions of Rangers fans, which is something his former manager Philippe Clement believes is unfair.
Clement said: “I think Cyriel gets abuse like nobody else in the club or on the pitch at least.
“But he always was there to work hard, to do everything for the club every day, every training, every game.
“Also, in his career, he never scored as many goals as he did at Rangers.
“In the end he performed really well with his qualities.
“I think he was top scorer at the end of the season.
“Of course fans always want more, but I think Cyriel, if he played in a team that won the league, then he would be for everybody a good player.

“But if you don’t win the league then for the fans you are not a good player any more.
“That’s life at Rangers.”
