According to Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, the possibility of Nigeria forward Cyriel Dessers moving to Serie A newcomers Cremonese is inching closer with each passing day.
Dessers spent last season on loan at Feyenoord Rotterdam from KRC Genk in the Belgian Pro League.
Last season, the 27-year-old scored 10 goals in 12 appearances for Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Dessers was forced to return to Genk after the Smurfs failed to take up the option to sign him on a permanent deal.
