In-demand Nigerian forward Dessers begins preseason with KRC Genk

Nigerian forward Cyriel Dessers has joined KRC Genk for preseason training despite interests from teams in Netherlands.

The 26-year-old returned to Belgium to start preparations ahead of the 2021/22 season and will be hoping to impress at Genk.

Dessers didn’t enjoy good times in his first season at Genk as he scored 4 goals from 28 matches.

However, the Nigeria international is determined to fight for a place at KRC Genk, who will be involved in European football next season.

Genk manager John Van der Brom will make a decision on Dessers’ future after preseason.

The Belgium giants have lined up a friendly against lower-tier side Eendracht Termien on July 3, 2021.
