The former junior international who has so far made over 18 appearances for the senior national team is among super Eagles players being tipped to showcase their skill at the World cup in Russia.

Troost-Ekong was born in the Netherlands to a Nigerian father, and Dutch mother. He represented the Netherlands at under-19 and under-20 youth levels.

He made his senior international debut for Nigeria on 13 June 2015, playing 90 minutes in an AFCON qualifier against Chad.

Troost-Ekong who has never hidden his love for the Green white Green jersey since joining the national team fold, said in a recent interview that playing for the national team has indeed changed his life even as he described Nigeria’s qualification for the World cup in Russia as a huge achievement worthy of celebration.

“It is a big achievement for Nigeria and for me to qualify for the World Cup,” Troost-Ekong told the NFF website.
