Rangers have reportedly closed the door on an exit for Cyriel Dessers with the transfer deadline fast approaching. Reports had suggested that the Light Blues would be open to a deal for the striker if they could recoup the £4.5million they paid Cremonese a sale - despite the 29-year-old being the undisputed first-choice striker since Philippe Clement stepped into the hot seat last season.
Danilo is now challenging the frontman while summer recruit Hamza Igamane ramping up their fitness behind the scenes at Auchenhowie.
The Nigeria international has been touted with a move to Cagliari and PAOK already this summer - with reports suggesting that a move to Atlanta United collapsed as Dessers did not want to make a move to Major League Soccer.
The Rangers Review now report that while Dessers was subject to interest earlier in the transfer window he is now "unlikely to leave" before Friday's deadline.
