Former Scotland midfielder, Alan Hutton, has advised Glasgow Rangers to sign a more reliable striker in the January transfer window.
The Gers signed Dessers from Italian side Cremonese for $4.5m in the summer but the Nigerian has struggled to make an impact since landing at the Ibrox Stadium.
In 23 all-competition appearances, the former Europa Conference League top scorer has managed only six goals and three assists.
The 28-year-old has also been in and out of Rangers starting lineup since the appointment of Philippe Clement as coach, making four starts from a possible nine across all competitions.
