Ekpolo Set To Bid Farewell To Barcelona - Mundo Deportivo

The authoritative Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo has reported that Nigeria U23 international Godswill Ekpolo will not be offered a new deal when he comes off contract with the La Liga powerhouse at the end of this month.

Since joining Barca in 2005, Ekpolo has been an example of perseverance, dedication, skill learning and improvement, tenacity, discipline, humility and sacrifice, the Barcelona based newspaper wrote.

The wing-back progressed through the ranks, first playing for the U12B team before he was promoted to the B squad.

The highlight of Ekpolo’s career at Barcelona was winning the UEFA Youth League with the U19s squad in 2014, working a ninety-minute shift in their 3-0 victory over Benfica in the showpiece game.

Though he has trained with the first team, the Nigerian did not make a competitive appearance for the squad.
