Belgian striker Dessers wants to play for Nigeria
June 15, 2017 Adepoju Tobi
Utrecht and Belgian born striker, Cyriel Dessers has revealed he is weighing up his options of representing Nigeria, Naijafootballplus.com scooped.
The 22-year old Belgian striker has admitted breaking into the Belgian national team may be out of his hands and he is thinking of switching Nationality to Nigeria.
Dessers, who has not featured for any of the Belgian national teams despite his invitation to the Belgian National U21 team, considers the chance of playing for Nigeria as a nice proposition.
Dessers recently moved to FC Utrecht in the Dutch Eredivisie
He recently joined Eredivisie side, FC Utrecht from NAC Breda where he scored 29 goals in the regular season and playoffs.
“I’m concentrating on Utrecht now, but if something happens with Nigeria, that would be nice.

“I have to be realistic. Competition with Belgium is very big with Lukaku, Batshuayi, Origi, Benteke and now Dimata. They are all Still young.
“In Nigeria there are also top players, but maybe there I will be given a shot,” Dessers opined.
FC Utrecht’s new signing, Cyriel Dessers, has expressed his willingness to pledge his international allegiance to Nigeria ahead of Belgium.
Dessers scored 29 goals and provided 13 assists last season for NAC Breda, to help them win promotion to the topflight, before leaving for Utrecht.
His impressive season has led to a tug of war between Nigeria and Belgium.
Dessers qualifies for both countries, thanks to his Nigerian mother Sophie and Flemish father, Herwig.

Although the 22-year-old trained with Belgium’s U-21s in 2015, he never got to make his debut as he was an unused substitute in their match against Moldova in the qualifiers for Euro 2015.
“For now my concentration is on my new club FC Utrecht but if anything comes from the coach of Nigeria it would be nice. I have to be realistic, the competition in Belgium is very large with Romelu Lukaku, Micthy Bastshuayi, Divock Origi, Christian Benteke and now Dimata,” he said.

“They are still very young, around same age as me. In Nigeria, there are top strikers as well but maybe there will be a spot for me in the team than in Belgium.”

He is considering between Nigeria and Belgium, what is your concern or business with that? The decision will be his and his alone.

His impressive season has led to a tug of war between Nigeria and Belgium.
Tug of war? At best there is a thick cord of rope lying on the ground, with Dessers' agent trying to plead with someone to pull one side.

Before I counter-yab, can I ask .... is Kevin Prince Boateng currently playing for Ghana, or is he still waiting for you to qualify for the World Cup?

You should worry more about Grandpa Gyan eventually breaking Roger Milla's record due to lack of competition. To be clear, I mean Milla's record for being old, not Milla's record for winning the Nations Cup.

I say if he is good, let him come please. We can do with more Good Strikers. Any day anyone of them could be hurt, unavailable and we need all the strikers available to us.

Have you seen the guy's age? He is 22. At least he didn't wait until he was past his prime before wanting to play for the SE. Let's have a look at him and give him a chance to fight for a shirt. After all, we don't exactly have anyone right setting things alight for us up front.
