Naija thank you, I love you — Troost-Ekong backs Super Eagles to soar again after AFCON heartbreak

Troost-Ekong was named AFCON 2023 player of the tournament after his excellent displays, including 3 goals that propelled the Super Eagles to the final against hosts Ivory Coast.

Unfortunately for the PAOK man, his strike in the final was not enough, as Jose Peseiro's Super Eagles collapsed, giving away two goals to lose 2-1.

Despite the setback, the Nigeria vice-captain has thanked the fans for their unwavering support and promised that the team would bounce back even stronger.

Taking to social media, Troost-Ekong wrote "Naija thank you! I love you. No words can justify the feeling of losing a final. 

"I’m proud of our team, our nation, our spirit; heads up, keep trying, we will soar again. Congratulations CIV,” the defender wrote on his official X handle.

The 30-year-old defender has been linked with big-money moves on the back of his performances at AFCON 2023, and it will be interesting to see where things go from here.
