Cyriel Kolawole Dessers
Cyriel Dessers attacks space and drifts between lines, a mobile target man for Panathinaikos who presses high and looks to run beyond the last defender. Dessers rose from NAC Breda to Eredivisie prominence, claimed the Golden Boot with Heracles, and became a European standout for Feyenoord. He thrives in the box. Nigeria is the international note for Cyriel Dessers, who later moved to Rangers before joining Panathinaikos. Panathinaikos transfer in 2025 added a new stage to his goal tally. Dessers finishes moves, checks short then spins in behind and pins centre-backs to create space. He attacks the back post and gets shots off quickly, keeping the channel alive for his team.
