Mamadou Niang states that Calvin Bassey should replace William Troost-Ekong as the defender in the Super Eagles team.

It can be recalled that the player, William Troost-Ekong, revealed that he will be retiring from international football which came as a shock to his fans.

“He is a talented, tough defender who has very good distribution with his left foot, and athletic quality which is above average.”

“He is a player I think is a leader of the Nigeria defence, who can replace Troost-Ekong, who took this Nigerian team to the AFCON final,” speaking about Calvin Bassey.

Former Nigeria international Tijani Babangida shares belief that Super Eagles could have a chance at the AFCON 2025 after their fail in qualifying for the FIFA 2026 World Cup.

“I think that after the unfortunate experience of missing the FIFA World Cup back to back, it is still very painful to digest this reality.”

“However, the next target is the AFCON tournament, which can be used to redeem the image of Nigerian football.”

Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.

The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.

The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
