President Of The Nigeria Football Federation Amaju Pinnick has confirmed that Netherlands based Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers has been cleared by the World Football Governing Body FIFA to represent the Super Eagles.

The 25 year old who was born to a Nigerian mother and Belgian Father opted to represent Nigeria despite being eligible to feature for three countries.

By the virtue of Birth, Nationality and place of work, Dessers could have opted to play for Belgium or Netherlands, but he has now agreed to play for three time African Champions, Nigeria.

He could make his debut as early as March, 27, 2020 when Nigeria host Sierra Leone at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba in a 2021 Africa Cup Of Nations Qualifier.

If Dessers gets an invitation, he will either join Victor Osimhen in the attack or come in as a back up for the in form Lille Metropole striker.

So Cyriel Desers is finally a Super Eagle after Fifa approved his switch to Nigeria. At six feet one, this boy is considered a conventional targetman and centre forward, so would be great competition for Victor Osimhen for the number nine shirt.

Our forward line is gradually taking shape. I just wish Samuel Kalu would sort out all his issues with Bordeaux and we will be good to go. However, our archiles heel remains the playmaker position, so I would rest a lot easier when the NFF tell us Ovie Ejaria and Ebere Eze and in the bag.

Welcome on board Dessers, Osimhen will definitely fancy that support and competition... the lad might soon get burned out from the high minutes he logs in at Lille, the other guys behind him like Nacho, Dessers, and Maja are good enough to provide support.

If you have not heard the name of Cyriel Dessers, then you actually need to start taking notice of the Dutch Eredivisie more typically. The Heracles forward has actually been among the brightest stars in a league where players from Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord tend to get the majority of the attention.

Dessers, nevertheless, has actually taken a long course to end up being appropriate in among Europe’s top second- tier leagues. He bet KSC Lokeren for 2 years prior to signing up with NAC Breda, and he later on relocated to Utrecht following simply one year at his brand-newclub He signed with Heracles throughout the summer season prior to the 2019-20 season, and he is probably going through the very best run of type of his profession.

These last couple of years have actually come out of no place.

The 25- year-old forward has 14 objectives and 5 helps in 22 Eredivisie matches this season, and he likewise includes 3 objectives in 3 Cup getaways. He is balancing one goal per 131 minutes in all competitors to date, and has actually revealed an eager eye for goal regardless of betting among the weakest teams in the Eredivisie.

If required, Dessers can likewise play as a left winger and as an assaulting midfielder. His finest position lies as a centre forward. That’s the function he has actually been satisfying at Heracles and, to this point, it would not be stunning if he gets a call-up to the Belgian national team. He has actually done more than enough to should have a minimum of some factor to consider.

Dessers has actually handled to stick out in a league where assaulters such as Dusan Tadic, Donyell Malen and Hakim Ziyech are the leading entertainers. The 25- year-old forward has actually validated his location as one of the leading Eredivisie scoring hazards with consistency and hard work.

[Tobi17]

The guy has always been passionate to play for Nigeria, I remember him saying rather unequivocally that he wanted to play for Nigeria so bad during an interview with some TV reporters in Belgium, and that was at the height of his form when he was at the top of the goal chart in the Dutch league, and could have been monitored by the Belgium national team.

[fabio]

Who exactly was he going to bench in the Belgian NT?

Correct Guy!

[Cellular]

I hope this report is true.

More quality for the Eagles.

[Odas]

Are you saying he STRONGLY chose us because he won't 'bench' anyone in the Belgian team? Just asking, bro

[john12]

I just watched his highlights in YouTube and personally, I dont think that he is better than Osimehn or iheanacho. however, he might be a good bench option to those 2 forwards he dosen't even look as good as Josh maja on youtube highlights. this is exactly why I don't like SE boys at BACKWATER clubs/leagues because I dont know how to judge them

I believe Celta Vigo wanted to sign him during the transfer window but Heracles put a high price tag on him.

He will most likely leave for a bigger club in the summer.

On current form Dessers is ahead of Iheanacho.

Iheanacho has proven nothing in club football although he had a hot streak for SE which soon fizzled out.

Osihmen has been top of scoring charts in France.

Dessers has done the same in Holland

Ighalo was once near the top of the Premiership
