Leganes are on the hunt to sign a new striker during the winter transfer window, and their latest efforts have seen them turn to Scottish giants Rangers.

Sebastien Haller’s loan termination means that a new number nine is needed, and according to Matteo Moretto, Leganes have Cyriel Dessers on their shortlist. As per the report, they have already asked Rangers about a possible deal for the Nigerian marksman, who has scored 34 goals since moving to Glasgow in 2023.

Dessers had been a regular starter for Rangers last season, but he has struggles for minutes during the current campaign. As such, it would be no surprise to see a move given approval by the Scots, although for now, it is unclear whether Leganes would want a loan or permanent arrangement.

For now, Leganes are continuing their search for a new striker, and it remains to be seen whether Dessers is the player that they end up signing.
