Super Eagles Defender Troost-Ekong Says He'll Consider Watford Future After Season Is Concluded

Super Eagles assistant captain William Troost-Ekong has revealed that he will consider his future at Championship side Watford after the end of the 2020-2021 season.

The Tottenham Hotspur Academy product surprisingly swapped a European Top Five League club, Udinese for a second-tier team in the summer transfer window, penning a five-year deal that will keep him at Vicarage Road until June 2025 if the two parties honour the agreement.

Troost-Ekong is standing by his decision to join Watford but will assess the progress made by the club before making a decision on his future.

In Thursday's press conference attended by allnigeriasoccer.com, Troost-Ekong said : "It was a decision in my career, I stand by it.

"New challenge, I enjoyed myself in Udinese, I think everybody saw what I can do there and I believe in the project for Watford to go back to the Premier League so we are working on that this season.

"We'll see by the end of the season how that has gone and then we'll make a decision again.

"For me regular football was important, the Championship is a very competitive league.

"I enjoyed myself in Serie A but I'm ready for a new challenge, we'll see how it works out but I believe in it."

Troost-Ekong has made five appearances for the Hornets who are second in the Championship table with 21 points from eleven games.
