Eagles-target Dessers may consider Belgium call-up

Striker, Cyriel Dessers has hinted that he could still play for Belgium despite committing his international future to the Super Eagles.

The striker is eligible to play for Nigeria through his mother, who is from Lagos, and also for Belgium, where he was born and the country of his father.

Last year, 25 year old Dessers met with top Nigeria Football Federation officials in London and also secured a Nigerian passport in his bid to represent Nigeria.

The striker was set for his Nigeria debut in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations double-header qualifiers against Sierra Leone, but the match was called off due to the coronavirus outbreak.
