Troost-Ekong Determined to Win AFCON After Earning Bronze and Silver Medals
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has made it clear that winning the Africa Cup of Nations is his top priority.
The defender secured a bronze medal in his first AFCON outing in 2019 and came close to glory in the last edition, finishing as a runner-up after Nigeria lost 2-1 to hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the final.
Despite the disappointment, Troost-Ekong had an impressive tournament, scoring three goals and earning the Player of the Tournament award.
Now, with Morocco 2025 on the horizon, he is determined to complete the journey and lift the trophy.
“I’ve been there three times—bronze, silver—but I haven’t won it yet. That’s my ultimate goal. It means so much to me and to all the kids growing up in Africa and Nigeria,” he told talkSPORT.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
