Willian Troost-Ekong is overrated - Daniel Joshua

Daniel Joshua said Super Eagles defender William
Troost-Ekong is suspect despite his quality performances for the team in their recent qualifiers.

The former U - 17 World Cup winner said as a defender believes Balogun is the brain behind the success of the duo.

” Troost-Ekong is good in his own right but I think he is suspect, he is not entirely convincing with the ball at his feet. Painful to say but I think he is overrated,” he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Balogun is the real deal, a complete footballer, good with or without the ball. He is a defender’s defender while Troost-Ekong is a cultured, old school centre back, pace, power and aerial ability. No real finesse.

” They are working well anyway. I like the nickname “Oyibo Wall”, it gives their partnership confidence to do more. But a suitable back-up is needed for the duo. Gernot Rohr would be worried in the event of one getting injured”.
