According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Super Eagles center-back William Troost-Ekong has caught the attention of Saudi Pro League clubs following his brilliant outing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The veteran defender has been immense for Nigeria, playing as the sweeper in José Peseiro's 3-4-3 formation, and has started all but one game so far.
He has scored two goals from the penalty spot in the competition, placing him second on the top scorers' list for the West African side with only Ademola Lookman boasting more goals than him.
The 30-year-old was part of the Nigerian team that won the bronze medal at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and will be seeking to lay his hands on the trophy when they face Ivory Coast in the final of this year's edition on Sunday.
He currently plies his trade with PAOK Thessaloniki, having moved to the club last summer, and has featured in 22 games across all competitions this season.
The Nigeria international has also contributed to the success of the Greek side this season, as they sit atop the Super League Greece and have qualified for the knockout phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
