Rangers could be about to land their Alfredo Morelos replacement with reports in Italy suggesting Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers is 'close' to a move to Ibrox.Dessers has been the main man linked throughout the last few weeks alongside Atalanta star Sam Lammers, with Beale keen to bring a fourth reinforcement into the fold after the signings of Jack Butland, Dijon Sterling and Kieran Dowell were confirmed.

New reports state that a deal in that ballpark - with £4.2m stated this time - has been agreed and is close to completion. The Nigeria international scored six goals in 26 league games as the Italian side were relegated in 19th place, four points from survival.
