Italian Serie A club Cagliari are interested in signing Super Eagles hopeful Cyriel Dessers in the January transfer window, according to reports emanating from the Italian media.

Webmagazine24.it says Cagliari legend Andrea Cossu has returned to Italy with glowing reports about the Heracles Almelo goal poacher after a scouting trip to the Netherlands and has recommended that the striker should be acquired by The Rossoblu.

Dessers is in the form of his life and equaled the best half of a season in his professional career when he bagged a brace in last weekend's league match against ADO Den Haag.

Cagliari are in the market for a striker with the misfiring Alberto Cerri linked with a departure from the club in the winter transfer market.

The Sardinia based outfit are the surprise package of the Serie A so far this season, occupying the fourth position in the table with 28 points from 14 matches.

Dessers joined Heracles Almelo in July 2019 and is contracted to the club until the end of the 2021-2022 season. 

The 24-year-old recently committed his international future to Nigeria over his country of birth, Belgium.
