The 27-year-old winger showcased his talent by netting three goals and providing an assist in seven appearances for Nigeria during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
He also made history with Atalanta, scoring a remarkable hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final.
“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.”
