Rangers reportedly want to recoup every penny of Cyriel Dessers' £4.5m transfer fee if they are to sell him this summer - with the queue for the striker seemingly growing.

Dessers joined from Cremonese last summer and his debut season at Ibrox was an enigmatic one. He held the starting berth up front for most of the season under Michael Beale and Philippe Clement and despite netting an impressive-on-paper 22 goals, he was criticised for his performances and perceived wastefulness in front of goal.

But it seems that's not put a number of clubs off from sniffing around his signature and last week it was reported he had handed in a transfer request amid interest from Greek side PAOK. Saudi clubs are also said to be "monitoring" the striker and it seems the 29-year-old still has some sell-on value if Rangers do decide to part ways.
