2018 is proving to be quite the year for William Troost-Ekong.
From the highs of representing Nigeria at the World Cup, becoming a father for the first time, moving to Serie A, facing both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, to the lows of injury problems, the defender has experienced a whole spectrum of emotions.
The centre-back's next challenge will be helping Nigeria secure a berth at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, and he appears set to retake his place in the heart of the defence for this week's decisive double-header against Libya.
"It has been a great year for me, I know," he tells KweséESPN.
