Super Eagles Captain Troost-Ekong Wins Greek League with PAOK

William Troost-Ekong, the captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the AFCON 2023 player of the tournament, has won the Greek Super League title with PAOK Salonica.

PAOK secured the championship with a 2-1 victory over Aris on Sunday night, May 19. Troost-Ekong played in 10 matches for the club this season.

PAOK finished the season with 80 points from 36 matches, two points ahead of their rivals AEK Athens.

This is the fourth time in PAOK’s history that they have won the league title.

Brandon Thomas gave the visitors the lead on the hour, while Loren Moron equalised for the home team two minutes after the break. Taison then scored the winning goal for PAOK two minutes after the hour mark.

Troost-Ekong was not included in the matchday squad by manager Razvan Lucescu as he recently returned to full training after undergoing surgery at the end of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in February.
