Reports: Lille ready to shell out €3.5 million for William Troost-Ekong

Published on: 29 June 2018

French Ligue club Lille are prepared to fork out 3.5 million Euros to snap up Nigeria World Cup defender William Ekong from Turkish club Bursaspor.

Ekong was an ever-present in the heart of the Eagles defence at Russia 2018.

Last season, he joined Bursaspor from KAA Gent on a long-term deal.

Ekong, who also holds Dutch citizenship courtesy of his mother, has had stints at Spurs and FK Haugesund of Norway, among several other clubs.

He is a hard-tackling central defender, who also featured at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where Nigeria won a bronze medal.

French club Lille are re-organising after barely escaping relegation this past season.
