Cremonese confirms Cyriel Dessers signing on permanent deal

Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers has completed a permanent transfer to Italian Serie A side US Cremonese from Belgian club KRC Genk. 

The 27-year-old goal poacher puts to bed months of transfer rumours surrounding him at Genk after the uncertainty surrounding his future with the Belgian Pro League club.

Dessers joins newly-promoted Italian side Cremonese after a successful loan transfer at Feyenoord during the 2021/22 season and an impressive start to the 2022/23 season at Genk.

Cremonese confirmed Dessers' signing on Wednesday morning, stating that the Nigerian international joins on a permanent deal but did not give further information.
