In a 4-3-3 formation favoured by most Dutch teams, Dessers who made the Eredivise team of the season following the Dutch League Association proclamation to declare the season null and void is occupying the center forward position and flanked by fellow Nigerian prodigy, Ejuke on the left and joint top scorer, Feyenoord’s Steven Berghuis on the right.
Ejuke mesmerized fans with his skills over the course of the season and several Super Eagles fans have been clamoring for his invitation to the national team with Gernot Rohr testifying to his quality and a possible future Eagles call-up.
“There’s even this new guy I saw on video, I love the way he plays. He plays his club football in Holland (Chidera Ejuke),” the Franco-German football tactician said.
Eredivisie Team of the Season: Marco Bizot (AZ); Deyovaisio Zeefuik (FC Groningen), Sebastian Holmén (Willem II), Daley Blind (Ajax), Owen Wijndal (AZ); Sergio Peña (FC Emmen), Hakim Ziyech (Ajax), Teun Koopmeiners (AZ); Steven Berghuis (Feyenoord), Cyriel Dessers (Heracles) and Chidera Ejuke (SC Heerenveen).
Both Dessers and Ejuke are being linked with departures from their current clubs in the summer transfer window.
