Nigerian captain William Troost-Ekong has opened up about his transfer to Saudi club Al-Khaloood.
Troost-Ekong joined Al-Khaloood from Greek Super League winners PAOK last month, surprising many.
The centre-back was initially linked with a transfer to the oil-rich country during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
Troost-Ekong said that the Saudi offer was too good to pass up.
The former Watford player also stressed the importance of securing his future.
“I received an offer I couldn’t refuse. I’m 31, and now I have to think about the larger picture,” Troost-Ekong stated on the Counter Attack Podcast.
Troost-Ekong said:
“I think the Saudi Premier League is competitive, you see the names that are playing there in my first game were Benzema, Kante, Fabinho, players that are world level.”
“But at the same time everybody talks about the opportunity you have there to guarantee your future to think about my family, kids.”
