Joining Watford is a ‘win-win’ for Troost-Ekong – Adelakun

Tunde Adelakun, a member of the Super Eagles technical crew, has stated that William Troost-Ekong joining Watford is a “win-win” for the centre-back.

The 27-year-old Nigerian ended his two-year association with Serie A side Udinese, amassing 66 appearances in all competitions before opting for Vicarage Road.

Troost-Ekong’s move had raised some eyebrows on why he opted for a lower tier, but Adelakun asserts it is to be closer to his family who are based in the city of Watford. More importantly, Troost-Ekong will be able to help the Hornets get back into the Premier League having finished in 19th place last season.
