Super Eagles captain and AFCON 2023 Most Valuable Player, William Troost-Ekong, is reportedly on the verge of a major career move to the Qatari Stars League. The veteran defender is set to join Al Ahli SC on a long-term contract, marking a significant transition from European and Saudi football to the Middle Eastern league.

Troost-Ekong, who currently plies his trade with Al-Kholood in the Saudi Pro League, has been a pillar of consistency for both club and country. This is a strategic step for the 32-year-old, offering him a fresh challenge in a league that has increasingly become a destination for top-tier international talent.

According to reports, the deal is in its final stages, with personal terms already agreed upon. The Nigerian "Monstro" is expected to bring his wealth of experience, leadership, and defensive discipline to Al Ahli as they look to strengthen their backline for the upcoming season. This move also highlights the growing influence of the Qatari league in attracting high-profile African stars.

Do you think moving to Qatar is the right move for the Super Eagles captain at this stage of his career? Will this impact his place in the national team? Share your thoughts in the comments!
