That guy Tyronne is one of our best right back, and our boys are doing good business in this market. All the best Tyronne.
You are so right brotherman. I and I have always believed that deserving Super Eagles players will always get great deals in the transfer market. Ebuehi is not like those Jankara market players who focus on dancing shaku shaku and end up playing Kerewa Kerewa football. Ebuehi has righteous agents and not evil agents. Lolzzzz
Jah bless Ebuehi, Jah bless all deserving Super Eagles players.
Best of luck.
Next stop, italy! Lets see how it goes!!!!
