Greek football club AEK Athens have reportedly identified Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers as a potential transfer target ahead of the summer window, despite his impressive goal-scoring form for Rangers.

The 30-year-old Nigerian international has been in exceptional form for the Scottish Premier League outfit this season, netting an impressive 28 goals in 54 appearances across all competitions.

According to reports from Greece, AEK Athens have placed Dessers high on their list of transfer targets for the upcoming season, signaling potential interest in luring the prolific striker away from Ibrox Stadium.

Despite having two years remaining on his current contract with Barry Ferguson's side, speculation about Dessers' future has intensified. The Nigerian forward joined Rangers two years ago from Italian Serie A club Cremonese in a deal worth approximately €4.5 million.

Dessers has quickly established himself as a fan favorite at Rangers, recently celebrating his 50th goal for the club and winning the top scorer award. His consistent performances in Scotland have evidently caught the attention of clubs across Europe, with AEK Athens now emerging as a potential suitor.

The Greek club's interest comes at a time when Dessers continues to demonstrate his goal-scoring prowess, including recent braces against Dundee United and important goals in Old Firm derbies against Celtic.

Rangers fans will undoubtedly be concerned about the prospect of losing their prolific striker, especially given his significant contribution to the team's attacking output this season.
