Squad player The numbers suggest W. Troost-Ekong is reliable but not spectacular, a steady performer Squad player Squad player... 📊
for the price tag Not impressed with W. Troost-Ekong for the price tag
for the price tag but tbh flop #Defender...
W. Troost-Ekong needs to step up — W. Troost-Ekong's stats have declined this season, maybe time for a new challenge — 🤦
