The former Nigeria international is infuriated with the NFF president’s intent to stop NPFL players from playing in unheralded leagues in Europe
Ex-Nigeria international Taribo West has described remarks from Amaju Pinnick that NPFL-based internationals would not be allowed to join "mushroom clubs" abroad as "insensitive" and "embarrassing".
Addressing the Super Eagles – dominantly home-based players – before Saturday’s international friendly vs Mexico, the president of the Nigeria Football Federation Pinnick vowed to stop football agents from taking the players to unknown leagues in Europe.
Instead, he assured that he will help players from the West African country to join forces with major leagues in Europe citing examples of Villarreal, Valencia, and Lille.
