Super Eagles: When I look at mirror I see Nigeria – Belgian-born Cyriel Dessers
Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers has said that he sees himself as a full-blooded Nigerian.
The Rangers of Scotland striker made this comment while expressing delight at his return to the national team.
He said his mirror always reminds him of his roots, adding that he is looking forward to helping the West African giants secure more victories.
Dessers, who qualified to play for Nigeria because of his Nigerian mother, made his senior international debut in October 2020.
The Belgian-born attacker scored for Nigeria in the 2-1 win over Ghana in the Unity Cup clash at the Gtech Community Stadium in London on Wednesday.
“When you look in the mirror, you see Nigeria,” he told the Super Eagles media team.
“At the moment I got the call, I didn’t have to think about it for long. When you get the call, you want to go, I went.”
He said he hopes to represent Nigeria in major tournaments.
