Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong has opened up on his move to Saudi club, Al-Khaloood, DAILY POST.

Troost-Ekong made the surprise move to Al-Khaloood from Greek Super League champions PAOK last month.

The centre-back was first linked with a move to the oil-rich country during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

Troost-Ekong confessed the offer from Saudi Arabia was so tempting that he couldn’t turn it down.

The former Watford also emphasised on the need to secure his future
“I got an offer I couldn’t turn down. I am 31, now I have to think about the big picture,” Troost-Ekong said on the Counter Attack Podcast.

“I think the Saudi Premier League is competitive, you see the names that are playing there in my first game were Benzema, Kante, Fabinho, players that are world level.”

“But at the same time everybody talks about the opportunity you have there to guarantee your future to think about my family, kids.”
