By Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria born, Dutch Eresivisie top scorer Cyriel Desser proves his mettle once again on Sunday as Heracles defeated Ajax 1-0 in the league.

Desser who switched his allegiance to Nigeria in December 2019 was again the hero as he netted the only goal of the game, BSN Reports.

Meanwhile, the fast pace forward has reiterated his commitment to represent the Nigeria's Super Eagles very soon.

The 24 years old confirmed his readiness to dorn the national colour while speaking to the press after the game.

“I know it’s a strong ambition of mine, but sometimes you need to stay focused and not get distracted as a professional footballer.

Everyone in the family is hoping – and to be involved with Nigeria would be incredibly amazing for my career, but I’ve got to keep proving myself first.

“To get a chance to stand at the door is a step forward. You start every day hoping for success at club level. If you keep working hard, hopefully you make some life goals come true," he told BBC

Desser is the top scorer in the Dutch league with 14 goals.
