“I would say he’s arguably our best player and arguably the best player in Africa right now,” Troost-Ekong said. “On December 16, there will be the [African Player of the Year] ceremony, and I’m sure he’s going to win it,” Troost-Ekong told talkSPORT,
“This season he’s been something else and at AFCON he was amazing,” Troost-Ekong added. “Everybody saw the hat-trick in the Europa League final, and there were a lot of rumours about big clubs which I know to be true. If I was any top club right now, I’d want him.”
