The January transfer window is around ten days away from closing meaning players will be in a hurry to seal their move. That is the case with several Nigerian players.
One of such players is the captain of the senior national team of Nigeria William Troost Ekong who has been a bit part player at English Championship side Watford this season. He has struggled to pin a regular berth under new coach Slaven Bilic.
Struggling Italian Serie A side Salernitana are said to be close to agreeing a loan deal with an obligation to buy the captain of the senior national team of Nigeria. The deal is said to be advanced according to Sky Sports Italia.
In the English Championship this season, he has played in 15 games out of a possible 27 games for 3rd placed Watford, who are keen on securing a return to the English Premier League last season.
Ekong is not entirely new to Serie A as he spent two years at Udinese and played 65 league games before joining Watford three years ago. A return is set to appeal to him with a run of regular games topping his wishes for 2023.
