Cyriel Dessers has rubbished rumours of a summer exit, saying that he is ready to stay and fight for more trophies with Rangers, Footynaija.com reports.
The Nigerian striker, who moved to Ibrox from Cremonese two years ago, has already added a League Cup to his cabinet. However, with the club aiming for bigger achievements, Dessers has shown no interest in walking away.
Speaking on Friday ahead of Rangers’ trip to St Mirren on Saturday April 26, the 30-year-old said,
“I’m very keen. I came here two summers ago with the ambition to fight for trophies, to win trophies. Now I’m sitting here, we had two amazing runs in Europe, but we only won a trophy, and I don’t think that’s enough.”
Reports had earlier suggested that Dessers could leave, especially with a possible takeover looming. But the Super Eagles forward was firm in his desire to stay and help the club reach higher levels.
“I’m really hungry to win more trophies, more silver at this club. So, for me, I’m very keen,” he continued.
Despite lifting just one trophy in two seasons, Dessers believes Rangers have shown glimpses of what they can achieve.
“Last season we had an amazing run in the second half of the season. We were fighting until, I think, two games before the league title,” he added.
The forward, who has scored 23 goals in all competitions this season admitted that reaching two cup finals but winning only one is not good enough by Rangers’ standards.
“You always want more, and that’s something that I work hard for every day in here in this building,” he said.
Dessers’ attitude will no doubt excite Rangers fans who are desperate to see their club compete harder both in Scotland and in Europe.
