Rangers links look silly now as 21-goal ace is labelled a £25m striker

Now that one expert believes Cercle Brugge striker Kevin Denkey, who has scored 21 goals, is worth £25 million, rumors that Rangers

was considering a January transfer for the player seem even more absurd.

around the close of the winter season, implying that Philippe Clement’s team was hoping to add one of the best strikers in Europe.

In just 20 games this season, Kevin Denkey has amassed 21 goals for his employers in Belgium.

If Chelsea’s interest in Denkey wasn’t enough indication that the forward was well beyond Rangers’ budget, then former Cercle Brugge

forward Tuur Dierckx’s remarks should put a strong stop to the rumors that the free-scoring Togo international was being linked to

the Scottish Premiership contenders.

Dierckx tells Het Nieuwsblad of a man who is leading the race to win Belgium’s Golden Boot this season, “I think Cercle’s system is

tailor-made for him.” “He is obviously very strong.”

Denkey now leads Iago Thiago, the second-most prolific player in the Jupiler League, by four goals. The Brazilian will pay an eye-

watering £30 million to join Brentford in the summer, and Dierckx believes Denkey should want a comparable price to follow Thiago

out of the door.

He continues, “Denkey is worth 30 million euros if Thiago is worth 37 million.”
