The Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers stated that he views himself as a true Nigerian.
While expressing his happiness at being back in the national team, the striker for Scotland’s Rangers made this remark.
He mentioned that his mirror always serves as a reminder of his roots and expressed his anticipation for aiding the West African giants in achieving 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.
