KRC Genk manager, Wouter Vrancken, is hopeful Super Eagles striker, Cyriel Dessers, will stay at the club, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the club, but the coach says he intends to keep him at the Belgian side.
“He (Dessers) came in here the right way. Cyriel is Cyriel. He confirms the positive stories I have heard about him,” Vrancken said, as quoted by HLN.
“In terms of mentality, you will have no problems with him. Obviously, I hope he stays. I haven’t specifically talked to him about the future yet, but the intention is to do so today or tomorrow.”
The Nigeria international was at Feyenoord last season on loan from Cegeka Arena. He shone for the Dutch side, especially in the Europa Conference League, where he was top scorer with 10 goals. However, the team lost in the final against Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
In the Eredivisie, Dessers managed nine goals and provided two assists in 27 matches.
