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.
Former Nigeria head coach Sunday Oliseh expresses his hope for Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman to win titles for the Super Eagles.
The former coach spoke on the performance of the two players and shared how they were impressive in the Champions League.
“Osimhen is doing well, and Lookman is also doing exceptionally well. All we [Nigeria] need now is for these two top players to lead the team [Super Eagles] and for the others to follow, and you will have it.”
Alex Iwobi revealed one of the greatest pieces of advice he has gotten from Jay-Jay Okocha.
The player shared “He said to me, express yourself. Don’t be afraid to express yourself.
“I got it from my uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha. He said it to me once, and I literally just watched how he lived his life. I feel lucky he is my uncle. I used to see him both off the pitch as well as on the pitch.”
Former Arsenal player Martin Keown shares the club he believes will win the Premier League title this season.
He shares that he believes Arsenal will win the Premier League. While speaking in an interview about the Arsenal vs Brighton match, he shared:
“It’s a massively significant night in the title race. Looking at that now, Arsenal have become huge favourites.”
“It was torturous to watch at times, but Gabriel’s performance at the back was absolutely immense. It was a bit nervy at times from Declan Rice, but boy, that is an unbelievable result for Arsenal.”
