PAE announcement:
“PA Panathinaikos announces the acquisition of Siril Dessers! The 30 -year -old Nigerian striker has signed a three -year contract and is the tenth addition to the roster of the current season.
Born on December 8, 1994, Siril Dessers in Togeren, Belgium. He began his football career at Academies of Local Belgian clubs (Zavalu Vechmal, Union Rutten, Togeren) before first joining the Sid Truden Academy and then by Leuven.
At 21 he got a transfer to Lockeren, with which he not only played several Belgian league matches but also the Europa League. In the 2016-17 season he moved to the Netherlands for Brenda (second-class team) where he scored 22 times in one season and immediately acquired by Utrecht. He stayed there for two years, playing again in the Europa League, and in 2019 he went to Heracles, with whom he became the leading scorer in the Dutch league with 15 goals.
It was the passport for its racing rise, as in 2020 the Belgian Genk spent 4m euros to acquire him. He stayed for a season and shortly after he was borrowed by Feyenoord. And they didn’t regret it. Dessers was the first goal of the Conference League with 10 goals, while another 9 goals scored in the league. Genk took him back in the summer of 2022, but the proposal of the Italian Cremonose, a Serie A team, was impossible not to move him. The Italian club failed to keep it in the category and precisely this opportunity was seized by the Scottish Rangers to integrate him into his potential in 2023. In Scotland he “shot” the opposing nets. 22 goals in all competitions in the first season, 29 goals in the second (when he became the top scorer in the league)!
In his career he won a Cup in Scotland and one in Belgium.
Desers chose to fight with Nigeria, his mother’s country of origin (his father is Belgian). He has 8 appearances and 3 goals with National.
Panathinaikos will wear the jersey by number 33.
We welcome Siril to the Panathinaikos family! “
