Cyril Dessers: Super Eagles forward finally opens up on botched Antwerp move

By Wale Mustapha

Cremonese and Nigerian striker, Cyril Dessers has revealed what could have being a shock transfer move to Royal Antwerp before making a big impression move to Feyenoord last season.

Dessers was loaned to the Dutch giants from Genk after finding a game times hard to come by in Belgian league and the striker said that he was closed to a move to fellow Belgian side, Antwerp had the discussion sailed through.

“If Antwerp had continued their bid to sign me, I would never have ended up in Rotterdam (Feyenoord). And maybe not in Italy now either. It’s all in such small things,” Dessers opened up.

“There are many good footballers who do not enjoy personal highlights in their career. But I have had so many. AZ, Berlin, Prague, Marseille, the final (Europa League), they are all etched in my memory.

“And then I am also part of the rich history of a club like Feyenoord. That is incomprehensible to me. It is really something to cherish.”

Dessers has two goals and one assist in the current Serie A campaign.
