William Troost-Ekong is heading back to parent club KAA Gent this summer after posting impressive performances thus far on loan at Haugesund in Norway according to SuperSport, information that Goal has been able to confirm.
The Belgian side sent the 22-year-old Nigeria defender on loan immediately after his free transfer in July 2015.
Tony Harris, the player’s agent told SuperSport.com: “William is very likely to go back to Gent as he has had an impressive outing in Norway so far. Discussions are ongoing about that.”
Ekong has become a crucial part of Haugesund this season where he was made captain in February and has scored once in 11 league appearances thus far.
He was named man-of-the-match five times and made the Tippeligaen team of the week four times, leading to his re-call to the Nigeria side for the friendly matches against Mali and Luxembourg.
The former Netherlands U20 player switched allegiance to Nigeria in 2015 and made his debut in Kaduna under Stephen Keshi when the Super Eagles defeated Chad 2-0 in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game.
He played three more times under former coach Sunday Oliseh but was not called up as Nigeria fell behind Egypt over two legs to miss out on qualifying for the Afcon for a second straight time.
