“I can’t wait to wear Nigeria’s green-white shirt and look forward to the upcoming international match.”
Dessers who currently tops the goal scorers chart in the Dutch league thanked his club and his teammates for making it possible for him to get his first Super Eagles invitation.
“This would not have happened without the trust of the club and the cooperation with the team. I am very grateful to them for that. ”

The Super Eagles will host Sierra Leone inside the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba on March 27.
