Sky Sports pundit Dan Bardelli has advised Rangers to hold on to Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers.
Dessers scored 22 goals in 54 appearances for Rangers last season, leading them to a second-place finish in the Scottish league.
He also contributed 9 assists for the Gers, highlighting his improvement as an all-round striker.
Rangers advised to keep goal-machine Dessers
The 29-year-old's performances have attracted attention from other clubs in Europe, including Greek side, and current club of Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong, PAOK Thessaloniki.

While Rangers could benefit financially from any sale, Bardelli has argued that losing Dessers would be a bad move.
“It’s always a risk letting a player go who has already proven that they can score goals and replacing them. I don’t think Rangers can lose many more goals from their side, but with Dessers leaving, they would lose a large proportion,” Bardelli said in an interview with Ibrox News.
“When signing a new forward, there’s no guarantee it will work out better than him. Rangers must be careful because goal scorers come at a premium, and every club is looking for a number nine.
“The number nine market is harder than it’s probably ever been, so it is a risk for Rangers. If they bring someone new in, they’ve got to get it right.”
Dessers has six caps for Nigeria, and is under contract in Glasgow until 2027.
