Nigeria's Super Eagles forward Cyril Dessers has opened up on the reason he decided to move away from the Belgium Jupiler League, BSNsports.com.ng has gathered

Dessers joined the Jupiler league club RKC Genk in 2020 after having a decent season in the Dutch Eredivisie With Heracles Armelo.

He failed to nail down a regular playing time and was on loan to Feyenoord last season where he made headlines both in the league and in Europe.

The 28-year-old has returned to Genk this season and has scored 3 goals but his move away to the Serie A side seems to have been concluded.

“Have I just said goodbye to the fans? Yes, maybe a little,” Dessers told the media.

“I think it’s no secret that a transfer is close. Sunday is a crucial day. Cremonese and Genk are negotiating. It’s getting very close now. “A top competition has always been my dream. I have never hidden that.

“If I stayed in Genk, I might be able to compete for the top scorer title, but I’m ready for something new. I played football in Belgium and the Netherlands and saw all the stadiums and teams there. I came in second and third.

“The only thing missing here is a title, but I didn’t feel like there was much of a stretch.”

Dessers added, “Soon I’ll be 28 too.

“That many people have their doubts about Cremonese? I won’t be competing for the title, no. I think I’m showing that I’m versatile enough.

“For me, it was important to be the first striker somewhere. I didn’t want to go to all those beautiful stadiums as a tourist. I want to play effectively and prove myself.

“I would have liked to have scored a goal, but I am delighted that we were able to win and that I was able to celebrate with the audience,” he said.
