Super Eagles AFCON hero boards plane with agent to complete move to Saudi Arabia

The Nigerian international, who joined PAOK in 2023, is set to leave Greece after just one year at the club.

The defender was instrumental in lifting the Super League title for PAOK last season, having kept six clean sheets.

Troost Ekong was also crucial to PAOK's first-leg win in their Champions League playoffs clash against Borac.

Troost-Ekong has travelled with his agent to Saudi Arabia to sign every necessary document before being announced as Al Khalood's new signing.

After agreeing to contract terms with the Saudi Arabian side, the defender was seen boarding a plane with his agent.

According to Fabrizio on X, “William Troost-Ekong and his agent David Moss, on their way to Saudi Arabia as he’s signing for Al Khalood.”

Despite his performance last season, he has decided to leave Greece and join the Saudi Arabian club Al Khalood.

Al Khalood recently got promoted to the Saudi Arabian League and has been in the transfer market for quality players.

The newly promoted side have set their sights on the Nigerian defender as they look to challenge for the title next season.

It is just a matter of hours before the completion of Troost-Ekong's move to Al Khalood is announced.
