Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers has delivered a powerful response to Nigeria’s national team selectors after being left out of the squad for November’s international fixtures, Soccernet.ng reports. Instead of the in-form Dessers, Eguavoen opted for Kelechi Iheanacho and Umar Sadiq, both of whom have struggled for consistency this season. In contrast, Dessers has been in excellent form for Rangers, racking up eight goals and three assists across 18 appearances in all competitions. Coach Eguavoen will also have additional firepower in the form of Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman and Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface. Lookman scored for Atalanta in their 2-0 Champions League win over Stuttgart in Germany midweek and remains a top contender for the CAF African Player of the Year award next month.
