Exclusive : Queens Park Rangers Weighing Up Move For Rosenborg Target William Troost-Ekong

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that FK Haugesund skipper William Troost-Ekong is attracting attention from a number of European clubs after putting himself in the shop window in the Norwegian Tippeligaen.

Scandinavian powerhouse Rosenborg have opened talks with the central defender’s camp over the possibility of bringing him to Trondheim but face competition, with Championship side Queens Park Rangers and clubs based in Germany also interested in his signature.

William Troost-Ekong, 22, debuted for the Nigeria side last year but he is having a breakout season in 2016 so much so that he has won five Man of the Match awards in the league, and earned the praise of the coaches after helping Wolves netminder Carl Ikeme post a shutout in Friday’s friendly against Mali.

The center back is a dual citizen as he was born in Holland, meaning he will definitely escape the strict work permit requirements in England if he is signed by Queens Park Rangers.

If the deal materializes, he will not be a stranger in London, having spent his formative years as a footballer with the youth teams of Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur prior to his shift to Eredivisie side FC Groningen in 2013.

Troost-Ekong and his management team are currently evaluating their options which include a possible return to parent club KAA Gent in the summer.
