Cyriel Dessers could see himself spending more time on the bench at KRC Genk because of the form of compatriot Paul Onuachu, according to Het Laatste Nieuws
On Monday night, Dessers was an unused sub for his hometown club who splashed four million Euros to buy him this summer, while Onuachu was Man of the Match with two goals in a 2-2 draw with KV Oostende.
Dessers has thus far scored two goals, while Onuachu has six goals in as many games.
Het Laatste Nieuws was clear who is the man to lead the Genk attack.
“We are more impressed by the tall Nigerian by the weeks,” the newspaper wrote.
‘His presence, his assumptions, his overview and his scoring prowess.
“Finesse is usually not associated with a 2m03 striker. Is it a phenomenon, or have you seen many double metres stop two players in one match?
“Cyriel Dessers has a problem.”
Onuachu has also reunited with newly appointed Genk coach Jess Thorup after both worked together at the Danish club FC Midtjylland.
“I am happy to be reunited with Thorup. He was also a striker in the past, so that is also a bonus for me,” he told Het Belang van Limburg .
