Even though the man who gained notoriety in Edinburgh could have found some appeal in returning to his home country, Josh Doig had plenty of motivation to sign a contract with Sassuolo prior to finalizing his £5 million transfer late last week.
Many gifted young Scots who traveled to Italy in recent years have received rewards. After two years in Emilia-Romagna, Aaron Hickey won a £14 million move to Brentford, while Lewis Ferguson is thriving at Bologna.
Should all go according to plan, Doig—who Rangers had targeted earlier in the window—may also end up being the most recent player to graduate from Sassuolo’s esteemed finishing school.
The CEO of the team, Giovanni Carnevali, is undoubtedly open about his wish to see Doig bring in a sizable profit for the Neoverdi in the future.
Sassuolo sign Rangers target Josh Doig from Hellas Verona
“He is a component of our strategies,” Carnevali informs Tuttomercatoweb. He is young, which is why we signed him. Our investment has shown to be wise. I’m hoping he may be one of the numerous athletes at Sassuolo who develops.
“And then has a chance to work at a major club.”
The Mapei Stadium developed the skills of Manuel Locatelli, Gianluca Scamacca, Hamed Traore, Gianluca Raspadori, Jeremie Boga, Stefano Sensi, Merih Demiral, and Matteo Politano, who collectively brought Sassuolo approximately £170 million upon completing significant transfers to teams like Juventus, West Ham, Inter Milan, and Napoli.
Evidently, Carnevali finds no reason why Doig in green-and-black cannot leave a comparable impression.
“Doig took Vina’s place (for Flamengo),” the CEO of Sassuolo continues. Together with Doig, we made the financial sacrifice. We tried our best.
Ridvan Yilmaz future still uncertain
In the meantime, Rangers may intensify their search for a replacement left-back before the transfer window ends the following week.The most recent person to be connected is Ajax model Anass Salah-Eddine. However, a lot will rely on if Ridvan Yilmaz returns to Turkey.
On Wednesday, Okan Buruk, the Galatasaray coach, undoubtedly gave the rumors more fuel. He acknowledged that the Turkish opponents consider a left-sided full-back to be a “priority.”
Batman allusions may not be to everyone’s taste, but the general idea is that when Philippe Clement’s options for strikers dwindled and questions about the large Nigerian’s capacity to lead the goalscoring load at Ibrox grew, he added Fabricio Silva to the team.
Cyriel Dessers’s fortunes have turned around for the Rangers forward, and as a result, the 29-year-old was serenaded at Easter Road by supporters.
Rangers fans warm to Cyriel Dessers, at last
Dessers’ form and stats have significantly improved since Clement moved to Glasgow.
Has he always been flawless? No.
He ought to have performed better in the league cup final and the Old Firm derby, but his goal against Real Betis to win group B of the Europa League must be taken into consideration.
After Clement’s appointment, he has played in 11 league games and recorded six goals and three assists, suggesting that he still has the potential to achieve the kind of numbers required to win the championship.
The crowd immediately erupted into a chorus of the Cockerel Chorus’ “Nice one Cyril,” or in this case, “Cyriel,” evidently enjoying the situation as he scored with nearly his first touch against Hibs to conclude the game with a calm finish.
Originally a 1973 ode to Tottenham Hotspur striker Cyril Knowles, this song’s lyrics should be understandable even to people who have trouble with them:
“Nice one, son, nice one, Cyriel.
“Rangers number nine.
“For fun, he’s scoring goals.”
To be honest, he almost did, but David Marshall made a wise halt.
Although it may have taken him a little longer to win over Rangers supporters, Cyriel Dessers is a nice player who seems to have adapted into the team right away. If he keeps up his current pace, he will quickly become a favorite.
