Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that several clubs in the Saudi Arabian Professional League are keenly eyeing Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong for a potential move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Currently showcasing his skills with PAOK in the Greek Super League, Troost-Ekong's standout performances as Nigeria's captain during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations have garnered significant attention. Romano notes that despite Troost-Ekong's success with PAOK in the Greek Super League and Europe Conference League, the allure from Saudi clubs is strong.
The defender played a crucial role in the Super Eagles' journey to the AFCON final, particularly in the intense semi-final against South Africa where his penalty goal and shootout prowess were instrumental.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the Saudi interest adds an intriguing layer to Troost-Ekong's evolving football journey.
