Fringe Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers has agreed a loan move to Spanish second division side Leganes from Belgium side Genk.
Although he started the season as second choice striker behind club’s leading marksman Paul Onuachu. The arrival of Ike Ugbo means Dessers dropped to the option of third choice striker at the club that he joined last summer after scoring 18 goals in the Dutch Eredivisie for Heracles Almelo.
He hasn’t hit same height like he did in the Netherlands with his fellow Nigerian Onuachu the headline maker at the club after scoring 35 goals last season. The inability of the club to trade off the lanky Nigerian played a huge role in the decision to let Dessers leave on loan.
Dessers who has one cap for Nigeria which came last year when he played for 18 minutes in the 1-1 friendly draw against Tunisia will team up with another Nigerian in Kenneth Omeruo at the Spanish side.
