Cyriel Dessers ready to dump Heracles, targets Europe’s top five leagues


Heracles Almelo forward Cyriel Dessers hopes to play in one of the top five leagues in Europe, but has not rule out ing a big club in Belgium.

Dessers has enjoyed a superb campaign with Heracles with 18 goals and six assists in 29 games across all competitions.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a number of European clubs as well as Belgian sides Anderlecht and Genk.

Dessers itted that he is keen to play for a top club in Europe, but is also open to returning to Belgium where he started his career.


”If a Belgian top club knocks, then I am certainly open to it. I have had a good season and I also want to realize my childhood dream: playing in a top-five league in Europe,” Dessers told Sporza.


"But if a Belgian top club s, I would definitely listen”.

The forward has two years left on his current contract with Heracles.

Dessers is eligible to play for Nigeria and was part of the Super Eagles squad scheduled to take on Sierra Leone in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game last month before the match was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Seriously - take your shit somewhere else.
If you can not debunk the point that was made on a football basis - go somewhere else and have this dick measuring contest.

Correct and as you said CM, and JJ can be build too, by one of such mangers, as Jose did Mikel

and hmmm,
lemme just stop here

Yep. He would've been an interior in a 4-3-3.

Humility017:



you're so funny
do you know many nigerians here in Abuja where I live still don't believe it exists

contaminant in what way guy

I really understand you s this lack lustre government but please let's talk sense and facts

Nigeria is a complete joke

I will advise you to take a chill pill.... U have done nothing but complain and swear ever since the virus entered the country..
There's nothing the government would have done that could habe stopped the virus from entering...it was inevitable....over half of the countries in the world now have the virus. There's no point in crying over spilled milk like u have been doing all weeks... E no go help anybody ..

Okocha was an entertainer in an era that was not only result driven but also pro football artistry. An era that also puts emphasis on the best entertaining team. Football was more exciting in that era than now.
In Nigeria, people wanted to see Okocha play just for his skills. The love for
Okocha was crazy.
In Mikel’s time it was more about the science of the game. Mikel did not match Okocha’s following in the national scene. Having said that, both players are legends in their own right. Kanu had a very successful club career and his heroics at the Olympics will never be forgotten.
Personally I rate Okocha highest because he did what he wanted to do against any player any day anytime even when they knew his intention. He scored crazy goals although his conversion rate was average at best. He is an untouchable talent. Okocha May not have played for big teams but he always left behind unforgettable memories in every league he went. Kanu was a bundle of class. Mikel is the hero of his era.

safarigirl:
Guys, there's an argument going on on Twitter about Nigerian legends

The players in contention are JJOkocha, Kanu Nwankwo and Mikel Obi. Some are arguing that Mikel doesn't belong on the list, claiming JJ carried the team's he plays for and deserves better than to be named alongside Mikel.

Y'all know how I feel about Mikel, so, for the sake of neutrality, do you guys agree with this notion?

Okocha's end product isn't really as poor as some people like to make it look...
He still managed to score over 100 career goals in over 500 appearances as an attacking midfielder...
I believe he would have achieved much more if he was more serious on the pitch..

Which is why I said conversion rate. He made
So many attempts at goal. And you are right he saw football more as fun. He really loved the game.

IMO, Okocha has more impact with the teams he played for than Mikel...
Mikel wasn't as consistent as Okocha..

In national team colours,we clearly know who was more indispensable..

But like u said,both players are legends in their own ways...

When you say consistent, in what sense do you mean?

I like the fact that you know he wasn’t serious on the pitch ,maybe that’s why big clubs didn’t go for him

And concerning his goals ,I won’t even criticize him with goals ,the Iniesta of this world didn’t even score much

ChrisKels:
Best news of this corona season is the coming back to full fitness of Uzoho Francis.

Wow. I really like this news. A positive from this lockdown season is the fact that players ruled out of the season can get a chance to help their team. Imagine 100% fitness for almost all teams in the world of football... Hot

Who are these people?

You be like those parents wey leave pikin for kitchen go bedroom for 5mins kon come back see the entire flour and fridge liquids, broken eggs on their bodies and the floor and they're laughing.


What a mess!!!

Italian Serie A club Lazio are looking to strengthen their attack next season by g Heerenveen dazzler Chidera Ejuke, according to today's print edition of Rome based sports daily Corriere dello Sport.

This is not the first time the Biancocelesti have been linked with a move for the former Liverpool trialist as they attempted to sign him without success before his move to the Netherlands last summer.

It is thought that Ejuke's proposed move to Lazio would hinder the progress of another Nigerian-born winger in Bobby Adekanye, who signed a first team contract with the capital outfit last summer and has played seven games for their first team.

Officially the top dribbler in the Eredivisie, Ejuke has cited two of the top wingers in the world in the shape of Neymar and Eden Hazard as his role models.

The 22-year-old is valued in the region of five million euros by transfer market experts but that fee could rise considering his consistent performances since the beginning of the season.

The former Valerenga man has scored 10 goals in all competitions and has notched six assists.

First Garba Lawal

Thank You Dan. I don taya for the guy constant tears

Roll call for our in the US, UK and elsewhere.

Tbaba, Komeka and co, we want to be sure you guys are safe over there. The number countries like UK, US, Spain, , Italy, Belgium, Netherland and the rest are pulling (Convid-19) is kinda alarming.

We need you guys to post here o, so we'd be sure you guys are safe.

May we not lose anyone to this virus!

Lol.

Talking about the Olympics, Okocha’s influence wasn’t always obvious but he never played to the gallery. Else we would never have won gold.

Agreed without any iota of reservation

Derailed into nonsensical, rubbish.

JayJay may not have played for big teams but how did he fare when he played against them? If you talking achievement Mikel wins. Talent-wise, wise, Mikel should not be mentioned where JJ dey.

andrewbaba44:


Everyone knows jay jay is good

Abeg Comot testimonial game for here bros

So now you want us to rate jay jay performance at the Turkish league ,when almost all of you here speak badly of the Turkish league apart from me and few others ,wonders shall never end ,suddenly you want us to look at jay jay performance there (and yes he wasn’t bad there ) you guys should try and practice what you preach

I am not comparing jay jay to Mikel as Mikel is a defensive player and jay jay is not so there are 2 different players

But I am saying jay jay didn’t achieve any meaningful thing ,some Nigerians are refusing to accept that

Jay jay never even played at the big stage obi played ,maybe he is unlucky or bad advisors according to someone here

Instead of some of you to accept ,the other guy was here speaking down of Mikel saying he is a squad player ,someone that started more than 150 epl games in 249 appearance

Make I end here

somehow:

I deh my house oh, remote working although even with work things have gone very slow.

I started self isolation in February, i wasn't waiting for the governments advice before taking my own precautions, so when LOCKDOWN was stipulated and enforced i was already ahead.

Anyway one is a defensive midfielder and one is an attacking , so i am not comparing them.

Who talent help? many talented players didn't fulfill their potentials thou
