William Troost Ekong
The first part of Nigeria’s famed “Oyibo-Wall”, Troost-Ekong has been a mainstay in the Super Eagles central defence since making his debut in 2015 in an AFCON qualifier against Chad.
Having really proved his mettle in 2016 for Nigeria at the Olympics, Troost-Ekong went on to feature in all of the remaining Super Eagles World Cup qualifiers, being part of a defence that conceded just four goals in six games.Image may be NSFW.

Troost-Ekong will bring some steel in that defence and an aerial suitability to match any towering striker in the air. He must be brewing with confidence following his recent goal for Nigeria against Congo DR. By the way, that was his first ever goal for the Super Eagles.
