Hard-as-nails Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has explained why he wants to continue playing for the senior national team of Nigeria in the future.
In an interview with former international Segun Odegbami, the star of PAOK FC revealed that his desire is for his kids to watch him play for the senior national team.
The player, who has more than 70 caps for Nigeria, mentioned he would be so excited to have his kids watch him play for Nigeria because they are huge Super Eagles supporters.
Ekong stated that the reason he wants to play longer for the Super Eagles is because his kids are not old enough to watch him play for the senior national team of Nigeria.
“But I tried to keep my private life private for obvious reasons. We have a strong family unit. My kids are not old enough to travel and watch me play in Nigeria.
“But this is one of the things that motivates me to keep playing longer because my dream is to see them come to watch me play for the Super Eagles at home.
“My children are Super Eagles fans and I tried to remind them that they are from Nigeria. And that is my job.” Ekong noted.
