Everton, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund Scouts In Attendance As Troost-Ekong Goes 90 Vs Verona
Published: February 16, 2020Super Eagles assistant captain William Troost-Ekong went the distance as Udinese were held to a goalless draw by visitors Hellas Verona on Sunday afternoon.
The central defender dished out two tackles, won four aerial duels and blocked two shots over the course of ninety minutes, according to stats from Whoscored.com.
Italian journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that scouts representing Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Everton were in attendance at the Dacia Arena and suggested that the talent spotters were watching Verona's Albania international defender Marash Kumbulla.
Troost-Ekong has come under intense scrutiny in recent months following a dip in form but was slightly above average in his last two appearances in the Bianconeri shirt.
The former Tottenham Hotspur youth-teamer earned plaudits for his performances in his debut season in Italy and was rewarded with a new deal last November.
Troost-Ekong is expected to be named on the Nigeria roster for next month's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone.
