Rangers have reportedly made a breakthrough in their transfer pursuit of Cyriel Dessers.
It's claimed Michael Beale has tracked the striker for weeks and is nearing a deal to bring him to Ibrox.
Cremonese - who were relegated from Serie A this season - had reportedly been demanding £7m for the Nigerian.
However, now The Scottish Sun claim Rangers have progressed towards a deal worth up to £4.4million.
The report claims sources in Italy have revealed a compromise is being worked on by the clubs over the fee with £3.5million due up front.
Rangers could also pay an extra £900,000 in add-ons, the report states.

He explained: "I have a contract with Rangers for one more year. I have started negotiations with the club.
