NEWLY invited Super Eagles forward, Cyriel Dessers is in
cloud nine after earning his first international call up to the Nigeria national
team.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that the Heracles Almelo of Holland striker was included in Gernot
Rohr’s 24-man squad released on Wednesday for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying fixture against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone this month.
Dessers, who has scored 15 goals in 25 Dutch top-flight
outings this season, said he is honoured and proud and can’t wait to wear the
national team jersey.
“So honoured and proud. Can’t wait to wear the
Green-White jersey and meet the team! Flag of Nigeria @NGSuperEagles #naija,”
the 25-year-old posted on his Twitter account.
The Super Eagles will host the Leone Stars at the Stephen
Keshi Stadium in Asaba on March 27 before heading to Freetown for the return
leg at the Siaka Stevens Stadium four days later.
Nigeria are currently sitting top of Group L on six
points, having won all two of their fixtures to date.
