Through a statement on their official webpage, Norwegians FK Haugesund have revealed that they have struck a deal with Gent over the loan signing of William Troost - Ekong.

FKH have agreed personal terms with the Nigeria international, but there are still some minor details to be ironed out with his former clubs before he will be registered in the Tippeligaen.

William Troost - Ekong arrived in Norway last week and returned to Rogaland county on Tuesday to put the finishing touches on the contract.

The 21 - year - old previously defended the colours of FC Groningen and FC Dordrecht while he spent his formative years as a footballer at Londoners Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham.

The stopper made his international debut for Nigeria in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad last month.
