Troost-Ekong Set to Join Saudi Arabian Side Al-Kholood

The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Most Valuable Player William Troost-Ekong is on the move again just a year after joining Greek outfit PAOK.

The former Watford defender is now set to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Kholood after an agreement was reached between the club and PAOK for his services.

Before the move, Troost-Ekong played for clubs in Europe, including stints in the English Championship and the Turkish Super Lig.

Personal terms have also been agreed upon with a medical now set to take place before the completion of the deal will also be Al-Kholood’s eighth signing of this transfer window.

The move will see him reunite with Norbert Gyömbér whom he played with during his time at Italian side Salernitana as the latter has also joined the Saudi Arabian outfit for free this summer.

He has now come to the end of his stay with the Greek champions and will now join Odion Ighalo in the money-spinning Saudi Pro-League.

Some might express concerns about the transition period and how quickly he adapts to the new league’s style of play.

As Troost-Ekong prepares for this new chapter in his career, fans, and teammates, look forward to witnessing his contributions to Al-Kholood and the growth of football in the region.
