Speaking to the Scotsman, Broadfoot emphasized that retaining the Nigerian international’s services during recent transfer windows was one of the club’s smartest pieces of business.

“I just think he’s an all-round athlete. He’s good on the ball. He’s very good in the air. He’s confident. He can probably do what he wants in the game, to be honest. He is the type of player that people look for.”
