Super Eagles Vice Captain, William Troost-Ekong, has made a bold move to Greece to revive his career by joining Greek Super League club PAOK Thessaloniki.
The highly regarded defender has left his former English Championship side, Watford, to embark on a new chapter in Greece.
The news of Troost-Ekong’s transfer to PAOK was confirmed by various media outlets on Monday.
Well known Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Nigerian international signed a permanent deal with the former Greek champions.
He has committed to a three-year contract, indicating his dedication to the Greek Super League club.
PAOK Thessaloniki will undoubtedly benefit from Troost-Ekong’s vast experience and defensive prowess.
The Super Eagles Vice Captain is set to contribute significantly to the team’s ambitions of clinching the Greek Super League title.
Despite this exciting move, some fans of the talented defender have expressed their reservations about his decision to play in Greece.
They believe that a player of Troost-Ekong’s caliber should be representing top clubs in Europe.
However, football pundits assert that this transfer is a strategic step towards revitalizing his career.
Experts in the football industry argue that the move to PAOK will provide Troost-Ekong with an opportunity to regain his confidence and form.
It is seen as a necessary step for him to prepare for more prominent competitions and reclaim his spot as a key player for the Super Eagles.
Before his arrival at PAOK, Troost-Ekong had a loan spell at Salernitana Calcio last season, where he achieved a significant milestone.
The defender managed to score his first-ever goal in Serie A during his time at the Italian club.
However, his efforts were not enough to save Watford from relegation.
At the national team level, Troost-Ekong had been experiencing a decline in his performances, resulting in him often starting from the bench.
Losing his position at the back for the Super Eagles has been a setback for the talented player.
Hence, the move to Greece presents an opportunity for him to rediscover his strengths and reclaim his starting position on the national team.
William Troost-Ekong’s transfer to PAOK Thessaloniki is an exciting development for both the player and the club.
