Otigba Names Ex-Arsenal, Real Madrid Stars As Toughest Opponents He Faced In Turkey

New Ferencvárosi TC central defender Kenneth Otigba has revealed the toughest opponents he faced while in Turkey.

The former Hungary youth-team skipper, who has committed his international future to Nigeria, was on loan at Kasimpasa last season, and scored three goals in 20 appearances in all competitions.

''It was a good move to go to Kasimpasa because I learned a lot,'' Otigba told Nemzeti Sport.

''Before that I was one of the strongest players in the championship, but in Turkey I faced a number of strong and fast footballers.''

Quizzed on the toughest opponents he faced in the Super Lig, Otigba replied : ''Robin van Persie, Samuel Eto'o or Vágner Love are skillful, but the hardest part was against Galatasaray, Lukas Podolski and Wesley Sneijder.''

The 24-year-old Otigba was approached by Premier League side Liverpool before he signed for Heerenveen in 2008.
