Two of the hottest properties in world football right now are Nigerian.

William Troost-Ekong joined Hawksbee and Jacobs to discuss teammates Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, with both potentially on the move very soon.

Troost-Ekong led Nigeria all the way to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring five goals from defence to be named the Player of the Tournament.

His burden was eased by Lookman, who joined him on five goals as part of quite a remarkable 12 months.

The London-born former Everton and Leicester forward moved out to Italy with Atalanta in 2022, where his career has blossomed.

A career-best 15 goals in his debut campaign was followed by 17 next time out, including an astonishing hat-trick in the Europa League final against a previously unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen.

This term he’s already on 11 in 12 games, and is leading an unlikely Serie A title charge, something Troost-Ekong thinks could earn him a move to one of the world’s biggest clubs.

“He’s on fire now and a lot of promise is coming through,” the Al-Kholood defender told. “This season he’s been something else and at AFCON he was amazing.

“I would say he’s arguably our best player and arguably the best player in Africa right now. On December 16 there will be the [African Player of the Year] ceremony and I’m sure he’s going to win it.

“Everybody saw the hat-trick in the Europa League final and then there were a lot of rumours about big clubs which I know to be true, but Atalanta weren’t ready for him to go.
