William Troost-Ekong has finalized a move to Al Khalood, a Saudi Arabian football club. The transfer agreement between PAOK, his current club in Greece, and Al Khalood has been completed with both the transfer fee and personal terms finalized.
Troost-Ekong, a 30-year-old Nigerian center-back, has been an influential player for PAOK in the Greek Super League. Throughout his career, he has played in various European leagues, including stints with English clubs like Watford, Italian sides such as Udinese, and Dutch teams including FC Groningen. His diverse experience across these leagues highlights his adaptability and expertise in defense.
The transition to Al Khalood signifies a significant shift in Troost-Ekong's professional journey. Joining the Saudi Pro League team, he is expected to leverage his considerable experience and defensive capabilities to strengthen the squad. His arrival is anticipated to bolster Al Khalood’s backline and provide valuable leadership.
Al Khalood, the club he is moving to, achieved promotion to the Saudi Pro League following a successful campaign in the First Division League, where they finished in third place last season. The team is under the management of Paulo Duarte, who has an extensive background as a coach, including roles with national teams such as Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Togo. Duarte’s experience is expected to complement Troost-Ekong’s skill set, potentially elevating Al Khalood’s performance in the league.
