When asked about the Nigerian songs he cannot get off his playlist at the moment, the Netherlands-based striker picked Grammy-award-winning singer Burna Boy. 

According to Dessers: "Yeah, right now I am all into Burna Boy. He was also in Rotterdam last month. So I would for sure go for Burna Boy at this moment."

When pressed further if Burna Boy is his favourite Nigerian artiste, the Europa Conference League topscorer was split between the 'Twice as Tall' star and 'Made in Lagos' crooner Wizkid. 

"Yeah, yeah, Burna Boy (my favourite Nigerian artiste). But I also like Wizkid a lot," Dessers said.

Presented to choose his favourite Nigerian musician between Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido, Dessers stuck to Burna Boy as his favourite artiste while confessing that he also loves Wizkid songs.

Dessers said on choosing between Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido: "Humph. That's hard. But yeah, I really like Burna Boy. At this moment, I really like Burna Boy. I'm in this period."

The Feyenoord striker did not choose Davido in any of his lists for either favourite songs or favourite Nigerian artiste.

Dessers shines for Super Eagles, Europa Conference League

Dessers was one of the Super Eagles stars to play in a European cup final this season, with his 10 goals in the UEFA Europa Conference League carrying Feyenoord to the final in Tirana against Jose Mourinho's AS Roma.

Like Rangers' trio of Calvin Bassey, Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun who lost the Europa League final to Eintracht Frankfurt, Dessers also lost the Conference League final as Roma clinched a 1-0 victory.

Dessers is expected to lead the line again when the Super Eagles face Ecuador in their second friendly on Friday, June 3 at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, United States of America.
