FK Haugesund defender William Troost – Ekong is on his way to Norway to link up with his Tippeligaen club after international duty with Nigeria.
Once again, the former Holland youth international passed his tests with the national team with flying colours, with the 2013 African champs not conceding a single goal since he made his international debut against Chad in June.
“On my way back to my club. Great to get a 2-0 win yesterday (Tuesday) against Niger. Wish all my brothers safe journey back @NGSuperEagles,” said Troost – Ekong on social media.
“It was amazing to meet @papilokanu yesterday after the game. One of my childhood idols. #footballlegend #Arsenal.”
Ekong, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on September 1, has racked up 190 minutes of game time for the Super Eagles.
